PHP masked links [Solved]
Posted: Sun Apr 04, 2010 8:12 pm
Hey,
I have a website which i post my custom made content on the internet to premium members on my site but people keep giving out the download link. So i wanted to "mask" my links.
I host my content on megaupload and these types of links pass around like wild fire basically allowing pirates to share it without paying... so i was hopeing there is something in php that can start the download with a function and not actually show the link in page source / html.
Say the link http://www.megaupload.com?d=12345678 ( this is not a valid link btw just an example ) now thats masked by Megaupload, you cant find the real location of the file in question, but is there a way to mask that link aswell on my site? - So when they click it it will either download or ask them to sign into megaupload...
Im thinking curl might be required but this is a complex thing for my level of PHP so hopeing some one can shed light on if there is even possible.
