Hey Guys,
Sorry if this has been posted before, but say if i have a directory on the server which i upload to pdf files and i have a simple php login script how can i make it so only ppl that login in with the username and password can access those files, because i cant embedded a php script into the pdf files to validate the user sessions?
Thnx

You can use php to serve the pdf files, like..
And then you can keep your directory with pdf files outside the document root or protect the directory with htaccess so the pdfs arent accessible directly.
header('Content-type:application/pdf');
readfile('my.pdf');
