Re: Show filenames using Wildcards -- The glob() Solution!

Ave, You will probably find this code pretty inefficient, although it works flawlessly, but I ran into a problem with Internet Explorer 7, which instead of giving the "Save as" dialog box, tried opening the file within the Internet Explorer 7 window and displayed millions of bizarre characters on the screen. In order to bypass that, I used a force-download method. And I can tell you it's probably a crappy version of it. So I'm definitely interested in and anxious on getting improvement suggestions on the code. Here's the code (and please don't kill me): <?php header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($F)); @readfile($F); ?> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc.
