Download and Redirect - Austneal - 02-15-2010
I dont know very much at all about php, and i was wondering... Is there some way I could have a script download a file, and then redirect to another page? Im wanting to sell something on a site, so I would have them click a buy button which would go through paypal. After the transaction is complete, paypal would redirect to this script to download the file. And since the script redirects to another page, they shouldnt be able to see the script's location, or the downloaded file's location, right?

Do you plan on just selling one thing, or lots of different products? Creating a paypal button will do all of the above you mentioned for you.

I want to sell multiple products, but all of them are going to be digital media
RE: Download and Redirect - Austneal - 02-16-2010
so what exactly do I need?

what I have used for selling ebooks on ebay years ago.
PHP Code:
<?php
$youremail = "youremails@emaildomain.com";
$downloadfile = "atkins_ebooks.zip";
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
$date = date("D, m-d-y");
$time = date("g:i A");
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$nilc=explode(".",basename($download));
if($download!=""){
$name=strtolower($download);
mail($youremail,"ebay customer downloaded $downloadfile","Ebay Customer downloaded $downloadfile \n\n IP: $REMOTE_ADDR ($hostname) \n $HTTP_USER_AGENT on $date at $time \n From: $HTTP_REFERER \n\n\n NAME: $name","From: $name <$email>") or die("email error");
echo "<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 TEXT=blue LINK=blue VLINK=blue ALINK=blue></BODY><FONT FACE=fixedsys><center>";
echo "Dear Customer, <br>";
echo "Thank you for purchasing my products from ebay :) <p>";
echo "Here is your download. <p>";
echo "<a href=$downloadfile><font size=+10>Here</a></font>";
} else {
mail($youremail,"Access Denied to $downloadfile","Access Denied to $downloadfile \n\n IP: $REMOTE_ADDR ($hostname) \n $HTTP_USER_AGENT on $date at $time \n From: $HTTP_REFERER","From: $name <$email>") or die("email error");
echo "<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 TEXT=blue LINK=blue VLINK=blue ALINK=blue></BODY><FONT FACE=fixedsys><center>";
echo "Access Denied";
}

There are lots of paypal compatible digital download scripts. Not too many good free ones but they exist.
How about a 3rd party resource like this?

Their pricing structure is cheap too.

Or, if you have a website or something, set up this awesome shop called OpenCart:
http://www.opencart.com/
It will allow you to host multiple things for sale and everything.

Awesome... does it do digital media downloads though?
RE: Download and Redirect - SLiM - 04-13-2010
Use Javascript to prompt for a download is my suggestion.
