I'm stupid, I need help

[lbb87]

I need some help with this script.

What I want is for the script to be located in one directory and the file that's to be downloaded kept in another directory but I can't figure out how to do that.

For example, I want to save the script to the following location: http://members.lycos.co.uk/username/directory1/download.php and I want to save the file to http://members.lycos.co.uk/username/directory2/test.zip

How do I go about doing that? I tried figuring it out myself but that didn't work out so well.

<?php

header ( "Content-type: application/zip" );

header ( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.zip" );

readfile ( 'test.zip' );

?>

I think your problem is that your script is assuming that the zip file is in the same directory as the script (directory1, in your example) - nowhere do you say that it is in directory2.

readfile ( '../directory2/test.zip' );

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my first post.

So to try make things more clear the script (download.php) is in http://members.lycos.co.uk/username/directory1/
and the file to download (test.zip) is in http://members.lycos.co.uk/username/directory2/

So if I use the script as it is then the file won't download because the script assumes test.zip is in directory1.
Doing readfile ( 'http://members.lycos.co.uk/username/directory2/test.zip ') doesn't work, it just downloads an empty zip folder.

So how do I specify where the test.zip file is in the script?
