Re: passthru Problems

Greets, Just to elaborate: I want my user to be able to click on a hyperlink that points to my PDF file, and have a new window pop up, displaying the contents of the PDF file in the browser window (without prompting if they should save the file) as well as set the HTML <TITLE> tag to the name of the report. My passthru() function works fine, when I send a header() of PDF first, and then dump the raw PDF out. But, I cannot set any HTML properties with tags (like <TITLE>); it doesn't show the PDF in PDF format then, it shows it all raw encoded. Hope that helps clarifying my wants and needs :-) Cheers, Jason ""Jason Mowat"" <jmowat@digitalpraxis.com> wrote in message news:9b4lso$2gb$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... > Greetings, > > I am having a small problem displaying PDF files to my users via passthru. > This is the situation: I have a bunch of PDF files on my server directory. > I show the user a listing of the PDF files they can view, and allow them to > hyperlink click on the PDF they wish to browse.
