Hi, I have a script setup that is used for reading binary data fromfiles that is stored in a mysql blob field.  This is not a question
 regarding the mysql and data accessing, but what I am wanting to do is
 instead of just being able to pass the file ID in the URL without
 authenticating to the page prior, that page will return with a message
 saying not logged in, and not allowing the file to be accessed/
 downloaded from the webpage.  The PHP code I have to accomplish this
 is following:
 
 <?php
 
 session_start();
 $username=$_SESSION["username"];
 $userhash=$_SESSION["userhashed"];
 $authenticated=$_SESSION["authenticated"];
 
 if (sha1($username.$authenticated) != $userhash) {
 session_destroy();
 print "NOT LOGGED IN!<br>\n";
 exit;
 }
 
 
 if (isset($_GET["id"])) {
 
 include '../config.php';
 
 include '../functions.php';
 
 
 $sql = "SELECT bin_data FROM $dl_tbl WHERE RECID=".$_GET["id"];
 
 $file_dta_qry = "SELECT filename,filesize,filetype FROM $dl_tbl
 WHERE RECID=".$_GET["id"];
 
 $file_dta = run_query($file_dta_qry);
 
 $file_info = split(":field:",$file_dta[0]);
 
 $result = run_query($sql);
 
 $data = $result[0];
 
 $name = $file_info[0];
 
 $size = $file_info[1];
 
 $type = $file_info[2];
 
 
 header("Content-type: $type");
 
 header("Content-length: $size");
 
 if ($type != "application/pdf") {
 
 header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
 
 }
 
 header("Content-Description: PHP Generated Data");
 
 echo $data;
 
 }
 ?>
 
 However, the problem that I am having is even if the user is
 authenticated to the page, it is executing the code that results in
 the NOT LOGGED IN! message.  I have had this on a back burner for a
 while now, but I am certain it is something really simple that I am
 just overlooking or something.  Could anyone offer some help with what
 might be the cause?  I use sha1 command to check if the authentication
 is valid, and use the same code in other pages without problems, but
 am having trouble with this one for some reason.
