This worked perfect. It blocked direct access of the files and I could put my code in there to check if the user was logged in. Thanks for this! ps at first I couldn't figure out why you had the list of files in an array, and why not pass the file name in the url, but I see this is more secure this way. works great, so thanks! -R I was looking for a script to secure files on my website, and I only wanted logged in users to be able to download the file.
