Pushing Download

[Anon]

How do I push file to download in IE instead of oppening it. I'm using .jpg, .pdf, .doc,
.rtf files.

Hi,

First send
header("Content-Type: application/save");
header("Content-Disposition: filename=$filename");
header("Content-Length: $filesize");
then echo out the binary contents of the file.

Just ensure that there are no blank lines in the script that go to the browser. Otherwise the downloaded file will be corrupted.

If any help reqd, let me know.

the correct way would be to use fpassthru(). look here : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php
