Yes and no.

Yes it a possibility. Think you can make it with a simply fopen() fwrite(), with the cron daemon. The other possibility is to make a folder outside webscope. Then you can make a loginscript in mysql like: <?php $connection = mysql_connect("host", "user", "pwd"); mysql_select_db("db"); $query = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE user = '$user' AND pwd = '$pwd'": $result = mysql_query($query); if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { header("Content-type: you choose"); header("Content-length: filesize('/home/filename')"); header("Content-Disposotion: inline; filename=filename.tar.gz"); readfile("/home/filename"); } else { echo "you are not allowed to download this file!": } ?> Regards, Johan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
