[RESOLVED] excecute if filename extension is PDF

[dotty]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me with this. I have a recordset to get the names of files to download, these are mostly PDFs so I have added the code to output a PDF file. If the file is not pdf I want to output it in the correct format.

So

if (file is pdf) {
// We'll be outputting a PDF 
header('Content-type: application/pdf'); 
// called download.pdf 
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="download.pdf"'); 
// The source of the PDF
readfile("../pathtofile/".$row_rsFilelist['filename']); 

} else {
//we'll output probably just a link
}  

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks 🙂

if(strtolower(substr($row_rsFilelist['filename'], strlen($row_rsFilelist['filename'])-3)) == 'pdf'))

Alternatively, if you prefer the regex route:

if (preg_match('#\.pdf$#i', $row_rsFilelist['filename'])) {

I know, I know.. no need for regex for this sort of thing...
