Re: content type header for downloading files

Hi, I would like to test you code in my webpage, but i dont really know how to get along with path informations like ../images/pictures/image24.jpg Do I have to split the string in multiple parts, so i at last only got the picture name? But how then do i open the file? - thru fopen() or something equal or how do you do it? Please gimme some more informations if you like :)) Greetings Sascha ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest E Vogelsinger" <ernest@vogelsinger.at> To: "Dara Dowd" <daradowd@campus.ie> Cc: <shiflett@php.net>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] content type header for downloading files > At 02:04 30.01.2003, Dara Dowd said: > --------------------[snip]-------------------- > >$fname is the name of the file i want to download.
