Download problems

[furious5]

I've written a download script to deal with downloading multiple different documents from a querystring variable.

This works fine, my problem comes when I come to download.

I have a specific directory

$file = 'test/file.pdf';
switch($extension)
{
case eps: # EPS
header('Content-type: application/postscript ai eps ps');
break;

case jpg: # JPEG
header('Content-type: image/jpeg jpeg jpg jpe');
break;

case pdf: # PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
break;

default:
echo $error;
break;
}

// Append file location with the filename
$file = $file_location.$file;

// Commence Download
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$file.'');

// Specify source of files to be read
readfile($file);

I keep getting corrupted documents as the file being downloaded is called test-file.pdf

As opposed to test/file.pdf, is there a better way I can point the script to the directory I want to download from???

$file = '/path/to/filename.ext';
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);
exit();

Thanks for the reply, totally forgot about specifying the physical path - hence my quandry.
