Re: Immediate help needed with file download via HTTP!

Im a little confused, are you trying to upload a file from the client to the server or download a file from the server to the client ? I think you got the upload working, but having a problem downloading the file right? <? Header("Content-Type: image/jpeg "); Header("Content-Disposition: filename='somefile' "); readfile("/tmp/somefile"); ?> like this, works great for me. Ive used it for txt, html, jpeg, gif, and pdf If its uploading your having a problem with I'll write an example if you want.
