[RESOLVED] Download Prompt Help

[Ammar]

What I'm trying to do is temporarily download a file to a local folder, but without prompting the "open" or "save to disk" part. I want to automatically save the file right after I click the link.

currently I have this

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); 
	header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename.xls"); 
	header("Pragma: no-cache"); 
	header("Expires: 0");

I'm not certain, but I seriously doubt you can do that unless the folder you want to download to is a browser cache. The reason is that this presents a serious security risk. I could place any file anywhere on your machine. I could write your hosts file and make you think that http://bankofamerica.com was my phishing server.

That makes sense. Thanks for your response. In the mean time I think I have found something that has solved my problem for now
