if you want to force a download, you could use this: <?php // download.php?name=filename header("Content-type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$_GET["name"]); @readfile('./'.$_GET['name']); ?> I used this so i force my users to donwload the file the uploaded, but realise that you set your server free to download every file on it to you users. Then can download all file (including database connecting passwd etc). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33866 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33866&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33866&report=yes
