Download from Database

[Anon]

I have a form that allows a local file to be uploaded, this file is placed in a database field.

Now what I need is a way to make a link so that when clicked on it will download the contents of that database field as a file back to the customer.

Any help would be appreciated.

There was a column about storing binary data in a database a while ago.

Look for it, it does allmost exactly what you want.

Only one problem, the client browser knows about some filetimes, and will display it instead of offering it as a downloadable file.

A good solution to that is to make everything you are DLing a .zip file, if you can. Also saves on DL times.
