Download link question
« on: April 06, 2003, 01:57:31 PM »
Hi there,

I am currently creating a site where I want to sell my images. The way the site will work will be like this:

I have replaced the normal download button with a buy button.

When they click on the buy button they are taken to my Paypal account to buy the image, when this is successful and payment has gone through, I will send them an email link for direct download.

My question is this...is there a way to encrypt the the link so the customer never sees the actual URL of my hi-res image?

I hop that make sense! I am holding back at the moment buying a license as I want to see if this is possible. Otherwise this is a great little program.

Thanks in advance.

JAB

use this format:
http://YourHost.com/4images/download.php?image_id=XXXX
where XXXX is image id.
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
Please do not PM me asking for help unless you've been specifically asked to do so. Such PMs will be deleted without answer. (forum rule #6)
