Hi, Does anyone know the system of selling files on website? Ex: graphicriver, shutterstock, istockphoto. How to protect the download link address? Ex: "www.website.com\file.jpg", i think this is a default address to download "file.jpg". But it can be copy paste by any user to download it. I found some website use a random long name to replace "file.jpg" Ex: "www.website.com\sfsdfKHhsdfkKJ..." and it is just active for a certain time, maybe 1 or 2 hours. Does anyone have a reference of php script for this system? or maybe have another better system? Thanks
I don't think systems like that are easy to find, most systems are build on request. I don't know any systems that will do what you are asking for. Maby you could hire a developer to create one for you!?
You can sell virtually any digital file through PayPal without having to write software.This script can automate the sale of digital files so you can automate additional.
Thanks Ikeshaws... After research, i found Paypal for Digital Goods. Still need more research on how to use it. Maybe someone can share?
If you're not selling in high volume, email it to them. Otherwise a script that has the file in a database and a handler file that has the headers/footers of page etc. and calls the file into it , and create a random file name example 34ssf3fsdf.php and writes the file to a folder. and then a button on that page that when clicked activates a handler file that 1. begins download of the file, and 2. deletes the file from folder 3. closes the page. So that they're left with the file downloading..and no page. and even if they copied the URL, it no longer exists.
Or similar to Hand of A'dal just create a unique code for each payment (as paypal does) and then write that code to a db table, the user then has to submit that code to download the file and once it has been submitted once that code is deleted from the db or change another field to used or something along those lines.
