Re: raw file header in http

Try the following: create a link to a script download.php which will read the file (from anywhere on the disk) and send it to the user like this: header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename)); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$orig_filename); readfile($filename); exit; This should give him a download dialog box and set the filename in the dialog box to $orig_filename. hope this helps ciao andre. schiarat@libero. wrote:

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. The system i use is apache 1.3.9 under redhat linux 7.1, tank's Omar
