Title: PHP: Track daily downloads and protect download links Post by: Hellraiser on August 29, 2007, 02:54:00 PM Track daily downloads and protect download links
What does downloadpro do? Well, if you don't want visitors to see the full url of your downloads, so that people can only download your files from your site, you can hide them. Instead, you link to download.php?file=x, where x is the id of the file you want them to be served, and they will download the same files, however the address remains masked. All they see is download.php, which acts as a barrier between your files, and your visitors, and prevents what is known as 'leeching'. Using download pro also allows you to display and monitor the downloads of your files. There are 2 modes - The first displays a count figure in the location of your choice, such as as '245 Downloads So Far!' notice in your download area, which dynamically updates everytime someone downloads the file. The second mode is included in the admin control panel, and shows the visitors IP address, the visitors chosen file, and the date and time which they requested the chosen file. All files are assigned an id number when added in the control panel, which is used for tracking, hit displays, and for downloading. The script is fast, easy to use, and transparent. See it in use at Http://www.explodingpanda.com/scripts.php on the individual script pages. Demo Click here (http://www.explodingpanda.com/openmail.php) to view the demo. (Mouseover "download" and check the url the titlebar displays ie demo for url hiding) Requirements This script requires a base of a PHP enabled webserver, and a MySQL database.
