Restricting access of php written files

[turbo]

Hi

I\'m writing some pdf files to a directory under /home using the pdflib functions and fopen. I don\'t want users to directly download these pdf files from their browsers, I will provide a link to do that.

The problem I have is the user that writes the file is also the user that serves the page (ie the web server with php), so manipulating permissions doesn\'t work.

Using .htaccess to restrict access to the directory won\'t work either, as the web server needs to enter the directory.

Any ideas please? I don\'t have root privileges so I can\'t change the files owner.

Regards
