Form and Looping help

[ackerley1]

Hi,

i am in the process of creating a simple page that will take input from users and write it to a text file, however, I cannot seem to figure out how to open up the download file window to download the file I just created. What is the code (either HTML or PHP) for the action and/or submit portion of the form. (I want the page to write the the file and give them the option to download in one click of the submit button.

Also, when generating a table using loops how do you get the name field to increment for each loop - ie: inputfield1 for the first loop, then inputfield2, inputfield3 for subsequent loops.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

use the [man]header[/man] function to force download

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.txt"');
