RE: [PHP] choosing the name to save a file as in a script

Hi, You can always get the filename and set a META redirect after 0 seconds and then it'll download as whatever file you specify in your script or whatever. Such as: include("DATABASE_CONNECTION.inc"); $sql_query="select * from some_db where id='$id'"; $result=mysql_query($sql_query); $the_row=mysql_fetch_array($result); echo "<meta HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" CONTENT=\"0; URL=ftp://ftp.somesite.com/".$the_row['path_to_file']."\">"; php-general-digest-help@lists.php.net <php-general-digest-help@lists.php.net> said something like this: > By passing it in this way: script.php/filename.zip?id=123 > the browser will prompt to download the zip file with the name filename.zip > > If I pass it like that: script.php?file=filename.zip&id=123 > the browser will prompt to download script.php... Unless there's a header > that can be sent to change the filename that the browser will save the file > as? Haven't seen anything like that... -- Best wishes, Erik J. Barzeski Life is a mistake.
