Download limit using PHP script or any

[holydevil]

Hi Guys,

i am looking for a php script or any other script that limits downloads per day
example, an IP address can only download 5 files in 24hrs

There is another option which is not exactly required, i just thought it would be a neat feature the feature is that it shows the user what he/she has downloaded and how many dls are left in that 24 hr period

U can PM me or reply 2 this post

Thanx In Advance
:-)

just create a text file. make your script write 1 line in this text file (it will automatically adjust the files modification time).

Then you can make your page check if this file is older then 24 hours,
if it is then u delete all ip's from database.
Next write to the text file again which will reset the modification time (starting the 24 hours again).


Another way u can do it is just continually execute the query:
delete * from table where time<$timecheck;

better using text file cause u dont want mysql query happening everytime the page loads.

tip. store the ip's in a HEAP table (memory), it will be alot faster but when machine reboots all data is lost.

You have ONE text file that will add IPs of people downloading, or one text file for each IP?

I think its one text file. Doesn't seem too hard to make.

Yeh just one file, u just want to use the files modification time for your updates...

Doesnt need any content, i would just write some random line to it (change its modification time everytime u do the update.)
this way your script knows when it has to update next by checking this files mod time.

anyway, hope you get it, really is a simple task..

Contact me if he doesn't reply, and I'll see if I can make it for you.

You will have to setup your own database heap table,


<?php
$time=time();
$cachetime= @filemtime("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/data/time.txt");
/* check if its time to do another update. */
if($cachetime+1800<$time) {
/* remove old ip's */
$compare=$time-86400;
#mysql_query("DELETE from `ip_log` WHERE time<'$compare'");
/* update text files modification time */
$file = @fopen("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/data/time.txt", "w");
fwrite($file,"$time");
fclose($file);
}
?>

Also note some countrys use a proxy for thousands of computers
which means that you could effectively stop alot of people from downloading by blocking 1 IP.

[killaH]

To find out if a user is using a proxy, you can try a function like this:



function getProxy() {
$proxy = array();

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))
$proxy = array_merge($proxy, explode(',', $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']));

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))
$proxy = array_merge($proxy, explode(',', $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']));

if (!count($proxy) > 0) {
if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION"]) || isset($_SERVER["HTTP_VIA"])) {
return "::Proxy Detected";
}
return "";
}
$proxy = implode('::', $proxy);
return '::' . $proxy;
}
