Opps... $data is set on the download page. It is set like this: $path .= "export/".$name; $fp = fopen($path, "rb"); $data = fread($fp, $size); fclose($fp); Colin On Wednesday, December 11, 2002, at 06:21 PM, Philip Hallstrom wrote:

Where/How do you set $data? Everything else looks fine, but without knowing that we can't help much. On Wed, 11 Dec 2002, Colin Bossen wrote:

Hello: I am trying to use the header function to enable users to download files. I am able to get files to download. Unfortunately, the wrong file keeps downloading. Instead of downloading the file I want the php source file is getting downloaded. Here is the posting code: $output = "<a href=\"download.php?name=".$filename."&size=".$size."\">Click here to download ".$filename."</a>"; echo $output; Here is the download code: <?php if ($name) { header("Content-type: application/x-macbinary"); header("Content-length: $size"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name"); header("Content-Description: PHP Generated Data"); echo $data; } ?> Any help anyone might have would be much appreciated.
