Re: Change displayed file name to download

Hi Make a $new_filename and put that in the header: $neW_filename = "downloadfile." . $filetype; header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$new_filename"); (the content of the file is now in $content, so if you like you could also change the value of $filename if you preferrer that) You'll need to detect $filetype from $filename to always have the same filename as the original file. /kim Php Developer wrote on 14/03/2010 21:29:

Hi, I'm using the following code: ____________________

$fp      = fopen($filename, 'r+');
$content = fread($fp, filesize($filename));

fclose($fp); header("Content-type: application/msword"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename"); echo $content; exit; ___________________ Now when downloading a file the default name that appears for the user is the realname of the file i the server with the real path the only difference is that the slashes are modified by underscore. My question is: is there any way how to control the name that will be displayed for the customer? Or at least skip the path and display just the file's name? Thank you
