Downloading a file from a hidden URL is like calling someone whose phone
number is unknown...
... how can I write download_file.p hp?
Given that what you really want to know is how to write a download script,
I've found this example in the manual page for header():
<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downl oaded.pdf"');
// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('origi nal.pdf');
?>
It shouldn't be difficult to write a generalization.

restrict the download to a "logged in" user?
download.php ...
<?
set_time_limit( 600); // 600 secs (10 mins) maximum transfer
$fname = $_GET["fname"];
switch(trim(str tolower($fname) ))
{
case 'myfile1':
$file = 'private/file1.zip'; break;
case 'myfile2':
$file = 'private/file2.zip'; break;
default:
Location("downl oadinvalid.php" ); exit;
}
header ("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0
header('Content-Description: File Transfer\n');
header("Content-type: application/octect-stream\n");
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file) . "\n");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file) .
"\n\n");
readfile($file) ;
?>

I have the following at the beginning of the PHP page:
<?php require_once('Connections/conn.php'); ?>
I want to hide the connection file, "conn.php", so it's out of the web
accessible file structure. I understand putting them in the php include
directory shoudl do this. For example, let's say the directory I put them
in is /www/phpIN/, and /www/ht/ is the root web directory.
So I put "conn.php" in the inlcude directory...

Hello!
I'm trying to secure pdf-files from users that are not logged in on a
site.
What I have tried now is to make a .htaccess file in the directory
where the pdf's are with "deny from all" which stops everyone from
downloading them. Then in the member-area when a user wants to
download a pdf a php-script copies the pdf-file from the secured-
folder to a temp-folder and renames it to some random file-name that
the user can download....

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
