GREETINGS PEOPLE

Sorry if this thread is in wrong section.

I'm planing to create one site where people will be able to buy some products,
and to pay with e-gold as option.

Now i know that after completed payment on e-gold site the buyer is redirected back to my site ( let we say order page from where he went to egold to make payment ) , but what i want is:

how to track that somebody came from e-gold site after compleated payment
because after payment i wish to provide link to download page for that product.

I don't wish that everybody can access my download page without prior payment.

So we talk about verification of user and from where he/she came from.

Is there some script or code for this or some other method of checking the visitor of my page.

Any help would be nice.

Thank's

I'm not familiar enough with e-gold to know how their systems work exactly - could you point to some documentation from them?

One way you DON'T want to do this is to rely on the http referrer! (this can be easily faked).

The appropriate technique to use depends on the value of what you're trying to protect, and (related) how likely someone is to try obtain it without paying.
