I have a php-script with which one can download a file with a specific format like this: header("Content-type: application/specific"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name.sqrfld"); echo ("output funny stuff..."); and i will count the number of downloads in a database. When i write the code for counting after the "echo ..." statement it will be executed regardless if the user aborted the download or not. How can i guarantee that i update the database when the download is complete?
