Re: Sending Files Via web

header() has to be sent before any output of html ot php you may refer to the manual of php on php.net "David Costelloe" wrote in message <001101c004eb$f037ac60$0201a8c0@zeus>... Hi, I have a php which recieves an http_post_vars variable from another HTML I then use a select case to determine which file is to be sent based upon a database entry. This works great only when I try to use the header function it returns the error already being used. Here is the example: <% $strfileto = HTTP_POST_VARS["txtProduct"]; switch ($strfileto) Case "Agent Reader": $strfileto = http://www.test.com.pro1.zip; $strfilename = $strfileto; default" } then I load the HTML </html> <% If (strfilename > "" ) { header("Location: strfileto"); } %> no matter where I put the header the error occurs saying I'm already asigning a header or the page returns a 404 Is there a more efficent way to send files rather than using the header function? Thanks David............
