HI:

I need some directories on my webserver password protected. The usernames and passwords are part of another application and are stored in a mysql database.

Here is the situation:
We are running a private portal. Users need to log in to access the content and downloads on the portal. However, if they go directly to the directory that holds the docs, they can download the documents without logging into the application. We need to block them from doing this unless they are already logged into the system.

I believe this is the solution:

This is out of my depth. Can anyone assist? Please PM me with your contact details (IM if you have it) and a price.

Thanks!

btw. i should add: using cookies or htaccess instead of mysql are not options as we have explored both.

thanks,
