headers and directory aaargh

PapRika


$image="liana.gif";
header('Content-type: application/JPEG');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'$image . '"');
readfile("$image");

This works fine ofcourse. How can I specify the directory where the file is in, I can't use: $image="c:\example\liana.gif". That doesn't work. Also working with realpath function doesn't work.

Any suggestions???

You have to use a url or a relative path.

PapRika

Yes but:

$image="c:/testdirectory/liana.gif";

this isn't working!!

bubblenut

It's neither a url nor a relative path
Examples
URL:
http://mysite.com/path/to/file.php
[url]ftp://place.net/here/there.php[/url]

Relative Path
./over/there.php
../../back/up/the/tree.php

See?

thanks for your patience with thus newbie.
However:
I tried both $image but then it wants to ouptput the PHP file and not the image:


<?php
//$image="http://localhost/lul/chico.JPG";

$image="lul/chico.JPG";


header('Content-type: application/JPEG');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $image . '"');
readfile("$image");
?>
