Possible Strange Question

[crewdesign]

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to protect a ZIP file from someone just downloading it until they have purchased it, becuase I sell scripts on my site and I want to stop people from just downloading it before purchasing.

Any Ideas?

You can use these guys,

If you have any access to directories above your ROOT folder on the server, then if you stored the ZIP file there and streamed it though PHP, it should be completely secure...

I've never done anything like this, but it was the first thing that popped to mind!

Thanks for the payloadz suggestion, but not quite what I am looking for, snow: that sounds interesting, ill have to have a go at that

Then you'll have to integrate the PayPal API into your system if you want to release it after a payment.

Thanks for your help, but Ive now found a solution, I simply created a script that opened up the product folder and then renamed all the zip's to a hash and then inserted the new names into the database.
