I am having a problem, I am trying to setup a random id generator with php and mysql. I want it so that when people purchase the product it gives them a download link but I do not want them to have the link for ever. I want the link to last like 30 minutes. So what I want to do is make it do is when the product is purchased it last 30 minutes but then it cancels out and it gives the file a new ID. Can anyone help me? I am lost so far. Here is what I got so far.

PHP Code:


			
<?php



  $id = $_GET['id'];



  $links = array(



    "download" => "http://www.domains.com/path/to/file.zip"



    );



 



  header("Location:".$links[$id]);



  exit;



?>
