Snippet Name: Download only once
Description: Here is a form that asks for Name and Email address. When the form is submitted the Email address is verified first.
If you put in a Name and a correct Email address, an anchor element is displayed allowing the user to download the file, two cookies are created storing the Name and Email address.
If the user goes BACK in the browser and tries to download the file again, the program checks to see if the cookies exist.
If they do exist, then a message is displayed telling the user that they can only download the file once.
