I'm working on a project and to access the files, the user must have an account and then, he can access to the file and download it when he pay for that.
For example, I have a file like this: here
As you know, the user can copy the address in browser and simply get the file and download it. But I want the url be like this: here
And without the token, he cannot access to the file and download it.
How can I do that in PHP? I'm using Laravel for this project.
Thank you.
you can do it like this....
in blade
<a href="{{route('your route here',\Illuminate\Support\Str::random(6))}}">Download</a>
in web.php
Route::get('your_ul/{token}', 'HomeController@download')->name('your_route');
in controller
public function download($token)
{
//your operation here
}
And if you want more secure then first save a token in the database and when a user clicks into the button pop up a modal and ask a pin and in the controller do it like this
public function download(Request $request)
{
//your operation here
$token = Download::first();
if ($token == $request->token){
///do you download here
}
else
return abort(403);
}
