Opening new window

magic-eyes

Hello,

What I need:

by clicking on the link to my php file (for example download_tutorials.php) a new window will appear with an url address to my tutorials.zip file (the url has to appear in the Internet explorer "Address" bar! Something like "http:www.htmltutorials.net/tutorials.zip").

Once again:
Let's say by clicking on download_tutorials.php (actually opening it) I will see a new window "http:www.htmltutorials/tutorials.zip" + actually another download window will pop up as well ("Save as").

I've tried to use a simple code with "header redirection" (found on Google) it opens a new window but there is no "http:www.htmltutorials.net/tutorials.zip" url in the Interent explorer's Address bar.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

does the url
http://www.htmltutorials.net/tutorials.zip
actually exist or are you trying to fake it?

of course not - this is just an example. I do not want to have my real url posted here. Hope everybody understands.. Thanks.

well if their browser is going to download the file, there is a way to see the location of the file. only way to hide the actual file location would be to write a script to read the contents of it and output it to them in a download type script.

I think my description of the problem is too complicated. I do not need to hide the location of the file. I just need this:
from www.Domain1.com to download the file which is under www.Domain2.com.
Url of the file I want to download is then http:www.domain2.com/tutorials.zip

I need a simple php code which will open a new window. (using header)

well, php cant open a new window since its server site. only thing you could do is make a script called redirect.php or something like that, and open that in a new window with a regular link and in there forward them to the file with header.
