Re: Make fil downloadable

It's a dynamically created file the user downloads and uses later as a PHP script. If I put header() in it, that would make it downloadable again when the user uses it on his/her server, wouldn't it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy Hitchens (HiTCHO)" <phplists@hitcho.com.au> To: "'Stephen'" <webmaster@melchior.us>; "'PHP List'" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 7:24 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Make fil downloadable : You need to send headers to tell the browser how to handle it see: : header(); or.. if it is a php file and you want the visitor to : see/download the source you would be better off giving it another : extension eg .phps or .txt etc or have a handler file that did a : readfile after sending headers. : : : Timothy Hitchens (HiTCHO) : Open Platform Consulting : e-mail: tim@hitcho.com.au : : : -----Original Message----- : From: Stephen [mailto:webmaster@melchior.us] : Sent: Saturday, 11 January 2003 10:17 AM : To: PHP List : Subject: [PHP] Make fil downloadable : : : I need to somehow make it so when a user clicks a link, then get : displayed the download dialogue for the file.
