Hi Tijnema, To be clear, this can work for the client downloading say a music (mp3) file from the server to their local hard drive? If so, that would be great, but I just want to be clear I spelled out the issue properly. Thanks tons! Skip

I'm sorry, i thought you meant you wanted to transfer from 1 server to your own server. With this i can't help you any further i think, The code posted by Nicholas Yim isn't very succesfull too i think as it only shows you when the server outputted the last piece of the file to the client, but that is NOT the same as when download is completed. I don't know if it is even possible in PHP, as i don't have a way to do it now. Tijnema Tijnema ! wrote:

Hi, I think that cURL would do the job, starting the transfer with curl_init ,curl_setopt and curl_exec then you can get the info about the download with curl_getinfo Also take a look at the other curl functions, and have a look at the curl_setopt function page, as there are a lot of options that can be set. cURL: http://www.php.net/curl Hope this is what you need.
