header problems help

[[deleted]]

I ve written a down.php to download something
look at these codes

<?php
//down.php 
$location="ftp://name:mypass@202.115.15.7/hi.mp3";
header("location:$location");
?>

the codes above can not do the job
if I change 202.115.15.7 into 202.115.15.5(this is where the very php file located)so: why??
because the ftp server is not the same server the
very php file located?

of course both ftp adress is effective!!

who can help me if I want write a download php in this way!(download from a defferent server using header("location $location "))
thanks!!!!

You may also want to put a content-type header in there.
try ,
header("Content-Type: application/save"); if you want the user to just download the file, or ,
header("Content-Type: audio/mpeg") for the user's operating system default handling of the file (ie, either download or play from source depending on how their PC is setup)

the problem is
header("location :[url]ftp://[/url]")

make it !!
