I need to limit the number of times a pdf is downloaded by people (to 500). Ideally it would count the clicks to 500 and then remove the link. It has just occurred to me that I will also need to stop each person clicking more than once. Basically I have been asked to allow the first 500 people download a file and then end it. PHP or javascript would be prefered (its on a wordpress site)
regards

分享 You don't wanna limit the number of times a link can be clicked, you want to limit the number of times that particular link returns a PDF file.
In other words, your link shouldn't point directly to the requested resource (the PDF), but to a PHP file that can assert that the file hasn't been downloaded more than 500 times.
Here's an example of how to output files outside your www directory to the browser.
