Re: [PHP-DB] raw file header in http From: Andre P. (drowser <email protected>)

Try the following:

create a link to a script download.php which will read the file (from
anywhere on the disk) and send it to the user like this:

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$orig_filename);
readfile($filename);
exit;

This should give him a download dialog box and set the filename in the
dialog box to $orig_filename.

hope this helps
ciao
andre.
