i was reading about php.net looking for a way to force a download of a txt file, rather than the
browser displaying the file.
i ran into header() that seems to be able to accomplish it... but seeing as i'm very much a
newbie at php, i can't seem to make this work
if the file i want to download is
nfo/60/ind.txt
how would i impliment this:
<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf");
// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
?>
