How to Limit the download every month.

I need to find a script that will let me set the download limit for each separate file per day, which will reset every 24 hours.

e.g Members can only download 3 video clips per day.

Thanks! Help will highly appreciated!

I guess it wont be too hard to write such a script yourself. Just keep in a field in your db how many files a user downloaded, and then reset it everyday.

how about this error i was encountering.. i try to upload the script on my webhost but the thumbnails doesn't appear because it is corrupt also the downloaded clips were also corrupt.. i was wondering if there is an error on the script that i've maid.. and how can i mask the download url of that files...

these are the script i made..

index.php

<?php
include ("../includes/connect.inc");
$vid_id = $_REQUEST['fileid'];
$dl_vid = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_videos WHERE vid_id = '$vid_id'") or die(mysql_error());
$file = mysql_fetch_array($dl_vid);
$loc = $file['vid_url'];
header ("Location: ../$loc");
?>

connect.inc

<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password")
or die("Could not connect to the database!");
mysql_select_db("username_dbvideos",$db);
?>

download.php

  <?php
//fetch variables
$vid_id = $_REQUEST['id'];
$usr_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$state = "false";
$date = date("Y-m-d");

include ("includes/connect.inc");

//validation 1: if more that 10 dls
$ret_history = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_user WHERE usr_ip = '$usr_ip'") or die(mysql_error());
$count = mysql_num_rows($ret_history);

//validation 2: verify repeated downloads - di pede
$dl_file = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_user WHERE usr_ip = '$usr_ip' AND vid_id = '$vid_id'") or die(mysql_error());
$dl_count = mysql_num_rows($dl_file);

//validation 1
if ($count >= 10) {
?>
  <span class="style7">You have reached your maximum downloads for this month!</span>
<?php
//validation 2
} else if ($dl_count > 0) {
?>
<span class="style7">You have already downloaded this file!</span>
<?php
} else {


//get video url
$dl_vid = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_videos WHERE vid_id = '$vid_id'") or die(mysql_error());
$file = mysql_fetch_array($dl_vid);
?>
<div align="center"<a href="file/?fileid=<?php echo $file['vid_id']; ?>" class="style1 style2"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Download Now</a><br /><br />
<span class="style4">Warning !!! </span><br />
<span class="style3">Don't refresh this page or click back button while downloading.. The validation will expire after the download finish.</span>
<?php
//note this valid download to database

mysql_query("INSERT INTO tbl_user VALUES ('$usr_ip','$vid_id','$date')") or die(mysql_error());

}
?>

listvideos.php

  <?php
  include ("includes/connect.inc");
  $list_videos = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_videos");
  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($list_videos))
  { ?>
    <tr>
    <td><a href="download.php?id=<?php echo $row['vid_id']; ?>"><?php echo $row['vid_title']; ?></a></td>
    <td><?php echo $row['vid_desc']; ?></td>
    <td><img src="<?php echo $row['vid_thu']; ?>" width="200" border="0" /></td>
  </tr>
<?php }   ?>

Is there an error on that script?? but that script is running perfectly on my localhost server

help with this would highly appreciated thanks!

Well, we can't help if you wont tell us what's the problem and the error you get :)

BTW the code you wrote is varnerable to SQL injection attacks. You should fix this with addslashes() or a similar function.
