Hi, I am a newbie to php so pls be gentle. I am having problems while downloading a file via this script. I am sending the following headers and then a call to readfile function in the swcript. This leads to opening of a download popup but the file name being shown is the name of the script file rather than of the file which I am forcing the user to download. Another problem is that when the file is downloaded a new line character is added to the top of it unncessarily due to which it can't be opened with any image viewer. Once I reomove that newline character, it works fine. Script.php //some validations go here. $relative_file = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']). "/../Dir/".$fileName; header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $relative_file); @readfile($relative_file); Thanks in Advance, Kishore Divick.
