Getting there.
I'm using...
$path = "/home/risk/public_html/$bu/$file";
//Where $bu is the folder name where the file is, I've passed that from
the previous form, no worries there. I've also passed the file name from
the previous form, as I have the file type.
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($path));
header("Content-Type: application/$type");
readfile("$path");
yet when I get this header called, I get prompted to save teh file, all
good, but I can only save it as an HTML doc, even though in the save
dialog box, it tells me it's an acrobat fiel (in the case of pdf's etc)
How acn I force it to save as pdf, or zip etc...?

Hello,
This is very much a possibility. first you 'fopen' the file and then you
do an 'fpassthru' it will send the file to the client. You do need to
create the correct headers (content-type and content-disposition) to
match the file type etc.
All the best
