Ever had this thought: “I want to fire something extra up when somebody downloads a certain file.”? This can be easily fixed by making all you download links link to a php page and output the download file for you. But what if the file is called directly in the browser, say http://www.gayadesign.com/scripts/photonav/photonav.zip? Apache will happily give the file to the user, without me noticing it. Luckily for us, .htaccess is a great place to mess around with Apache.
This article will explain how to make pre-download conditions in php using .htaccess. I’ll make a download counter in this one.
