The idea is to place the real files outside of your webroot, so the only access to them is available through the script. With a bit of mod_rewrite magic, you can even make it look like the person is actually downloading the real file, and the script will still kick in. There is a follow-up coming on this article, with for example the mentioned .htaccess, but I got a little tied up in moving to my new house, so that might take a while before it is posted. Please feel free to ask any remaining questions. ~RW That depends on where you place the files.
