http downloads

[mediafly]

Hello,

This is driving me nuts. I would just like to be able to have each link in the loop to download the file it reads from the folder but all I am getting it to download is the main php file. Any suggestions

<?php

if(isset($_GET['download'])){

header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
header("Content-type: application/octetstream");
}

if(isset($_GET['delete'])){
$var = deleteFile($_GET['delete']);
}

function deleteFile($file2){
if (unlink($file2)){
echo "file deleted";
return true;

}else{
echo "file not deleted";
return false;
}
}

$file_dir=".";
$dir=opendir($file_dir);

echo "<ul>
";
while ($file=readdir($dir))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != "..")
{
echo "<li><a href='?download=$file_dir/$file'>".$file."</a> | <a href='?delete=$file_dir/$file'>delete</a></li>
";
}
}
echo "</ul>";

?>

I dont understand the question. Are you saying that when someone loads the page with ?download it tries to save the file with a .php extension to the user's PC?

The final result Im going for is:

the script reads a folder and creates a downloadable link for each file in the folder and a delete file link.

The delete file works fine but im having a hard time getting the download to work properly. Ive tried a few methods but no success. The $_GET['download'] in the script is obviously not correct and is whats left of my frustration.

Thanks
