RE: [PHP] Downloads

Try <a href="mydoc.php">Click here to download</a> mydoc.php begins by outputting file download headers then can place data into a meaningful form with echo statements sending text into the downloaded file. see the manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php for example to create a downloadable pdf file header("Content-type: application/pdf"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf"); followed by outputting your content. You might also want to understand that downloading/uploading is a function of http, and not necessarily the underlying language, unless, of course, you are referring to the ftp kind of upload/download (there is a whole suite of ftp functions available for that as well) good luck, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Chris Boget [mailto:chris@wild.net] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 12:00 PM To: 1LT John W.
