Thanks for the attempt Simon, but your code only displayed gibberish.
While looking around again for help, I found this and it works
perfectly:
<?php
session_start();
//
// Specify the name of the pdf here and the folder
//
$pdfname='VFD_ByLaws.pdf';
$path='/pdfs/';
//
// the rest will handle the displaying
//
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Location:$path$pdfname");
?>
I may not be fully understanding this, but if you set a Location:
header, the other headers you've set don't matter at all, since the
client will merely redirect to the page specified by the Location:
header.

Yes. That's true. But the URL you link to is the one responsible for
sending the headers to download a PDF.
Just like if it was a link ...
<a href="download_pdf.php">Got your PDF here</a>
download.pdf.php would send the appropriate headers.

I need to create a login page with HTTPS to yahoo
Do I have to have a valid certificate?
I have not trust certification centre, so before anything under
HTTPS will
be shown up, the window will come with information: valid
certificate: yes,
valid domain: yes, valid authority for SSL key: no.
am I right?
<?php
//if not on HTTPS
if(empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
//build link to https page; protocol, server and current script path
$url = "Location: https://www.yahoo.com/";;
//addy querystring, if appropriate
if(count($_GET) != 0) {
$url .= "?";
foreach($_GET as $key => $value) {
$url .= "$key=$value&";
}
}
//send permanent move redirect
header($url, true, 301);
}
?>
but it goes to http://www.yahoo.com
I don't have an answer to your question, but you should look at
http_build_query: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php
for the last part of your code. It makes the query string safe for
transmittal.

403, 404 works fine, but 500 shows blank page
Alias /errorpage/ "/usr/local/www/apache22/errorpage/"

ErrorDocument 500 /errorpage/500.html
What's in 500.html?

All 403, 404, 500.html are static html pages like:
<div>
500 error happens
</div>
