Smudly Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to determine if a user is currently downloading a file from my website. The way my site works, is the user waits 30 seconds and views an ad. After the timer is up the download becomes available. I heard that I could probably use a timestamp or something of the sort. I've read up on it but not sure how I could go about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldWest Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 So you're the one with those annoying ads! I think I understand this correctly. 1) User views ad. 2) Ad displays for 30 seconds. 3) Download option starts. 4) User leaves page! (joke).. Not sure about tracking the download real-time, but getting a start and end download time should not be too difficult with date() and time() php functions. These values could be stored in a table, and you could be email notified or otherwise when the download completed or started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
