I am trying to make a force-download and then delete file for PDFs. It seems the headers (and possibly the readfile - experiementing gives mixed messages) execute, but any scripts after that do not execute, i.e. unlink($filename). This is a simplified version of what I have: $file_to_download=$_GET["filename"]; $filename=$_GET["filename"]; header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file_to_download)); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");} if(readfile($file_to_download)==filesize($file_to_download)) //download, and ask if file downloaded 100% { if(!unlink($file_to_download))//if not delete. { exit("Tried to delete file, however error occured. Possible cause: file name invalid. Record will not be deleted."); } else{ echo "Downloaded and deleted.<br>"; } }//if not download else exit("File did not download 100%, therefore it will not be deleted."); If anyone has ANY idea/help, Please email me! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39032 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39032&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39032&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
