binary write problem

[Anon]

Hi all.

I have a php-script to download pdf files from another location:

<?php
header ('Content-Type: "application/pdf" ');
readfile("/dir/file.pdf");
?>

This works fine, but when I want to save it via NS or IE it gives the name of the php file, eg. download_pdf.php3

Is there any way of changing this to the filename of the pdf file?

thank you,
Daniel

Send the download filename on the end of the URL after the php file. Then access it using the $PATH_INFO var.

Page: /download_pdf.php3/file/to/download.pdf

In your PHP script:
<?php
$file_to_send = $PATH_INFO;
header ('Content-Type: "application/pdf" ');
readfile($file_to_send);
?>

The user then gets the proper filename.
