RE: [PHP-WIN] file download .......

Toby, Look at this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php (excerpt below) If you want the user to be prompted to save the data you are sending, such as a generated PDF file, you can use the Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename and force the browser to display the save dialog. <?php // We'll be outputting a PDF header("Content-type: application/pdf"); // It will be called downloaded.pdf header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf"); // The PDF source is in original.pdf readfile('original.pdf'); ?> Note: There is a bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 that prevents this from working. There is no workaround. There is also a bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 that interferes with this, which can be resolved by upgrading to Service Pack 2 or later. -Dash -----Original Message----- From: toby z [mailto:blue_myth_1@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 3:45 AM To: php hlp list Subject: [PHP-WIN] file download ....... hi guyz im tryin to let a user download a file when he clicks on the link a open from location or save to disk dialog should appear n i dont know how to do this can n will sumbdy plz help thnx a million toby ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
