To prevent people to insert the full URL to the documents, i moved them outside Apache's DocumentRooot, which is /var/www. My site is in /var/www/telbit and i put the PDFs in /var/www I've coded in order to do the trick, but it's failing. I can't get the name of the file.

You don't need to basename() it, you already know what the filename is, because it was requested via $_GET['file']. I would insert a file_exist check before you try and send it. It might give you the cause of your problem. Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk "Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window"
