Hello,
This is the URL of the link that I use.
http://www.sitename.com/pizzeria.php3?pizzeria=aldentes
Here is the code from the script.
$file_path = "menus";
$file = $pizzeria . ".pdf";
$full_file = $file_path."/".$file;
$filesize=filesize($full_file);
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
header("Content-type: application-download");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$fn=fopen($full_file,"r");
fpassthru($fn);
fclose($fn);
exit;
I tried it and it did not work. When I click on the link it shows "pizzeria.htm"
in the File Name field. Any other suggestions.
Regards,
Edgar

Hello,
I do that with this piece of code. ( This will close the window, so open a
new one and put this code inside)
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fileName\"");
header("Content-type: application-download");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$fn=fopen($FileName,"r");
fpassthru($fn);
fclose($fn);
exit;
