Dear Friends,

I found a solution for this one , my source code is

pagedownload.php

<?php

if(isset($GET["downaction"]))
{
header("Content-type: application/octetstream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$GET["file"]);

@readfile($filename);

}

?>
<html>
<body>

download</font></a>

but i have one problem when i click on download it is giving the alert box with open,save,cancel,moreinfo and when i click on save it is saving as pagedownload instead of hello.doc

how can i solve this one

Dear All,

The file name will be changed it will be a textfile or a doc file, or a jpeg or a mpeg etc

when i click on the download it will save as per the name of the file given with the same extensison

<?php

if(isset($GET["downaction"]))
{
$file_name=$GET["file_name"];
header("Content-type: application/octetstream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$_GET["file_name"]);

@readfile($file_name);

}

?>
<html>
<body>

download</font></a>
