download

[Anon]

i write a html like this <A href="test.php">Download </A>
and the test.php :
<?
header("content-type:application/octet-stream");
...... // read a file which is stored in database to $app
echo $app;
?>

this will work, but the downloaded file will always be named as
"test.php",how can i set the name for this file. Or any other way to
download a file stored in db ?

thanks.

<a href="test.php/filename.ext"> (this is in apache, not sure about others) Apache will execute the first executable in the url so it will execute test.php and it will save the file as filename.ext... The only problem of course is changing the anchor, I did it by retrieving it from the database.

sorry,this doesn't work on iis.
i have not tried it on apache,but i wonder how the apache can know that test.php is the name for a file ,and not for a directory.

thanks.

I guess that's because in a directory, there cannot be a file AND a directory with the same name.

And it's weird it doesn't work in IIS.. but on the other hand, what does in IIS?..

header("Content-type: /; name=\"$FileName\"");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$FileName\"");

How do I download a jpg from a link?

If I just want it to prompt the user to save the file or open it from the current location.

Thank you!
