Re: Forcing a dynamic created text file to be saved

OK I know that. What I want to do is to have the save dialog displayed as if it was a HTTP file download procedure. If you click on a ZIP file say test.zip the save dialog will be displayed. I want to do the same but not with a phisical file. Instead I want to do it with the content of the page (text). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad S.

I have a PHP4 script that produces a text file and I would like that when the user access this script the text content of it was forced to be saved meaning that when the user selects it he/she will have the save dialog form to save the text file with the filename specified in the header function. So far I have managed to create the text file dynamicaly but still I have to click the browser's save button to save the file with the determined filename. I wanted it to be forced. Does anyone know how to do it ? Here's the code : <?php // Carlos Fernando Scheidecker Antunes : Test saving text files with PHP // this sets the content type as being plain text header("Content-Type : text/plain; charset=3D\"iso-8859-1\""); // this sets the file name header("Content-Disposition: filename=3D\"test.txt\""); // creates the dynamic content of the text file here print("TextFile test\r\n\"); for ($i=3D1; $i < 100; $i++) { print("This is line number ".$i."\r\n"); } ?> Thanks, Carlos Fernando Scheidecker Antunes
