i want to create a page which will automatically start download of the user selected software from previous page. these type of pages can be found at: http://www.download.com/
Simply creating a hyperlink to your file name should be adequate. Browsers automatically try to download .zip, .ex, etc. type files.
need more help, email me crazynjguy84@hotmail.com
i know that! but when a visitor clicks on the download link in any download site, he is taken to another page with the message 'Downloading...'. then the software downloads automatically.
Maybe you can do something with the header() function.
