Hi all,

Got a client who wants to allow users to click links to download Job Vacancy spec PDF's but they want to be able to capture the users email address first before allowing them to download.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Have them submit their email address to get the private location of the PDF file, not http accessible, which you send them in an email.

The link in the email address both downloads the PDF file and records the email address or ID of the source of the download to validate that the email address was in fact accurate.

There are lots of PHP scripts out there for free that download files from secure locations so it should be simple to tie it together quickly.

Be ready to get LOADS of false email addresses. "abuse@example.com" just to give an example.

Hi incrediBILL,

Thanks for such a quick reply, would you know where I can get such a PHP script from?

Or what term I may use to find the right script.

Cheers
