Limit to one download

I found this PHP downloader...
I'm using it like this: a person purchases an image going to paypal, then the image is opened to download but I want them to be able to only download it once and only if its been paid.

Thanks for any help

Paypal offers Instant Payment Notification that will let you set it up where you will know the user has paid before downloading or displaying the image. They offer some downloads on their site.

You might want to consider giving the user a fixed time period to do the download. Some downloads do fail and the user may have to retry.

Most sites that I have used that allow you to purchase and download images do give you 24 hours to do the same download if the first one failed.
