Tracking file downloads?

[FrizzleFryBen]

I was hoping someone could help me out.

I need to have a series of folders with 1 file in each folder that will be downloaded daily, 1 file per device. For example each devise is assigned a specific folder to look to. So at 5am each morning, each device downloads their specific file.

What I need is a way to proactively track whether or not each specific file was downloaded by it's devise.

Required: A web view and exportable list (xls, csv...) of last download time/date of each file.

Would be awesome: Auto email sent to me at 8am if a devise does not download it's file.

Any advise would be great. thanks! ~ben

I've used this in the past to keep track of downloads: http://www.phpjunkyard.com/php-click-counter.php

However, your requirements sound pretty specific so I doubt if you're find a ready script to do exactly what you want.

Have a look at the URL above, but if you want something more exact, you basically have two options: write it yourself or hire a developer to write it for you.

That will certainly get me by for now. I usually spend my days avoiding PHP as I believe the devil had a little something to do with creating it.
But I'll definitely use this till I can find a more robust solution.

Anyone else got a suggestion?
