Thanks for the code. How do you tell the page to access the .htaccess file inside the files directory? Sory I'm very new to this. Thank you!

I'm trying to connect your Login slide panel system to this download manager. Having some issues but I'll get there. Your site and the things you put on it are unbelievably amazing! Thanks alot!

Martin, i want to thank you so much! I know almost nothing to PHP, but thanks to your great example i've been able from my iPad to build a site that keeps track of my user downloads. Before i was sharing code without knowing if anybody was using it. This tutorial and code package is so easy to use. Thanks again.

Thanks for this. I am not getting the table updating although the table seems to be created correctly and the database is being connected to (I assume this because I see an error if I deliberately change the database password to be incorrect).

If I access download.php using the web browser, it says parameter incorrect, I am not sure if this indicates the problem or if that is expected?

I had the problem that it did not work trying to download PDF-files.
Took me some time to figure out, but finally changing the
.htaccess file to

ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment

did the job.

Or maybe to integrate some feedback form so the download works only if feedback is sent :D

Fantastic tutorial! Thanks for this!

But my question would be something like this.

Whenever you click download button, the counter increases by one. But, is there any chance that counter doesn't increase if you download the file from the same IP?

Thanks!

Any way to dive into folders. So if there is a folder listed i can click on it and open it then download the files listed. right now it thinks folders are files

I have only one question considering the CSS. I would like to make p.ContactUs to stay at the bottom of the page (as it is) without covering the other elements of the page when I resize the page at my browser. I've tried to change the position element but the whole section doesn't stay at the bottom.

Is there any simple solution? Thanks!
