That was usefull link, thank you<br />
The only problem with it was that the system wouldn't allow me to create file that starts with dot (I tried all different access priveleges), so I did it throught servers settings file, I set up realm - they could have mentioned that. <br />

I learned web develpment myself and the only way I know to secure files is using session object. <br />
As long as the file is .php, it is fine, but the application I'm working on is suppose to serve pdf files, <br />
now I'm in trouble.<br />
I tried to keep files few levels above then the website root folder, but it didn't work. <br />
<br />
How can I do this?<br />
<br />
I'm saving the links to pdf files in database - MySQL, I know it is possible to store files in databases, but I have never done that and don't know if it works fine. <br />
<br />
I thought someone with lot of experience in this could help<br />
<br />
Thank you

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
