How to set up: enter email address to download a pdf file

[John Seth]

My hosting provider locks you in as well. No issues with writing files ack
and forth, or to MySQL databases. My question would be, does your provider
have available to you, PHP and/or MySQL ? If you have php you can write to
a text file in a protected directory (using .htaccess or similar) so that
only you can access the output file.  The other would be to create a
database and table within which to store the information.

PHP will allow you to do almost anything you want, and is restricted more
by what your provider has allowed.  As such, I can't turn off my global
vars in PHP, unless I rent a whole server and have my own PHP compiled and
set for it to be "off".

If you have PHP, check out http://phpclasses.org/, there is a lot of PHP
snippets and code there. In my mind, I don't trust anyone's code other
than what I've written, but I do tend to use code from PHPclasses.org. I
generally thoroughly read and test it for holes and modify it to fit my
needs before using it.
