Hi, I am using cookies to store some information from a form. then the user goes to paypal, and after paying they get sent to a page that gives them the goods (download or whatever) I just realized, that a smart user would submit the form, and then manually type in the url to the dowload page. How can I keep users from doing this?
kind of confused about what you are asking for. not sure what you mean about a smart using and manually typing the download page most times once a user pays through paypal, they get sent an email with the download info or by clicking on continue they get sent to thank you page & email them a login to download the file & login url. never use direct downloads.. instead using a download script, which hides the actual location of the file. they have to login to download so it stops the files from being shared unless they give out the username & pwd for the account. there are alot of other things you can do as well. good luck.
