download file from an ajax request

hi everybody! Hi! is there some way to allow downloading a PHP generated file from an ajax request? the simple code below generates the image but not prompts the "save or open file..." (it works if I call it directly, not from an HTML and using ajax...) thanks, Pere $layer=$_GET['params']; //coming from ajax request $image0="http://edit3.csic.es/geoserver/wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&LAYERS=".$layer."&STYLES=&format=image/png&bbox=-9.65,35.6,4.85,43.85&WIDTH=760&HEIGHT=380&SLD=http://edit.csic.es/fitxers/sld/pou.sld"; $image=imagecreatefrompng($image0); imagepng($image,'definitius_hola.png'); //Opens file or URL $h = fopen("definitius.png", "r"); header("Content-Type: image/png"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"definitius.png"); fpassthru($h); fclose($h); -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/download-file-from-an-ajax-request-tp18028188p18028188.html Sent from the PHP - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
