Re: raw file header in http

Hi, I think you could use something like this $file_name="/tmp/your_file_name"; Header ( "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); Header ( "Content-Length: ".filesize($file_name)); Header( "Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$file_name"); readfile($file_name); If you want instead of using "application/octet-stream" you can can use the MIME type of the file you are sending for example "application/x-compressed". The second and the third headers are optional.

I need to open a page that send this file when it is opened (es.: opening page.php under netscape it opens a request to save file to disk, but the "file is out of www root"), i think i t is possible using command header and a raw http command, but i aven't any idea if it is possible and if yes in what mode.
