Have you tried putting an exit() in after the readfile? > //view document > if(isset($_GET[view_document]) == true){ > Header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); > Header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$_GET['file_name']); > readfile('files/'.$_GET['file_name']); > } > > but it seems to be downloading the contents of test.txt followed > by the code > for view_document.php, any ideas why this is happening? > > Here is the link I call with: > > echo '<p>Click <a > href="view_document.php?file_name='.$file_name.'&file_id='.$file_i > d.'&projec > t_name='.$_GET[project_name].'&project_id='.$_GET[project_id].'&vi > ew_documen > t=true">here</a> to download the document</p>'; > > Thanks again.
