It got me well on the way to understanding this. You will need to combine with some sort of user/session/login management script, but there are hundreds of articles on the web about this. Personally, I started with an article by Kevin Yank on sitepoint.com, but it's now pretty out of date (pre register globals off)... I doubt there's even one line of code left that is his... as my understanding grew, I built things the way I wanted. There are definitely a few articles to help you with this on zend.com as well, eg: http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/ Trust me, take a little bit of time to learn what's going on with session based authentication, then a little more understanding how to protect and download files, then blend them together. Not only will you have source code that you completely understand, you'll also have exactly what you want, with the power to extend it as you wish.
