Hi all,
I'm trying to build php into an existing solution which uses Lasso.
I have tested the passing of data from Lasso to php and that works fine.
I want Lasso to pass the filename over to a php page and for that page to
grab the file from a folder outside of the webroot and push it out to the
user, at the same time as presenting them with a confirmation form so that
downloading can be confirmed.
I have tried the following code without any good results:
<?php
$filename="D:\\Pdf\\0226138097(57-77).pdf";
$len = filesize($filename);
$header="
Content-type: application/pdf
Content-type: application/x-octet-stream
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=D:\\Pdf\\0226138097(57-77).pdf
Content-Length: $len";
header=($header);
readfile($filename);
?>
I get a parse error on the line that calls the header.
Can anyone help me with this please?
Regards
