Re: link to a pdf file

This works for what I do: Try this and fiddle with the variables. $conn_id is your pointer to an FTP connection. Familiarize yourself with the FTP functions in PHP if there are any doubts. PART I: Put this in one script (say "pdf_list.php"): // list server contents if ((!$F) || ($F=="")){ $dir_list = @ftp_nlist($conn_id, ""); if (!empty($dir_list)){ while (list($lvar, $lvalue) = each($dir_list)){ $S = @ftp_size ($conn_id, $lvalue); echo "$lvalue&nbsp;&nbsp;$S&nbsp;&nbsp;[<a href=\"download.pdf%20.php?F=http://$ftp_server/$my_dir$lvalue&S=$S\">DOWNLO AD</a>]<br>"; } } else { echo "No files available!<br>"; } } PART II: And save this as a separate file ("download.pdf .php"): <==observation: there is a space in this file name. See above: "%20"! <?php //You can submit $Dir, $File_Name, $File_Extension by another script adapting to your needs. header("Server:Keep-Alive"); header("Accept-Ranges: $S-$S/$S"); header("Content-Length: $S"); header("Content-disposition: filename=$F"); header("Content-type: application/force-download"); readfile("$F"); ?> Payment can be made with a thousand blondes from the Netherlands: in bikinis - no camels accepted! (Fine print: "they must be pretty - the girls, not the camels!")
