It sort of works now.
Here is my script so far:
<?
$file = strtolower($_GET['filename']);
$file_split = explode(".", $file);
// The number of dots is counted in case a file has two or more dots
if($file_split[1] == 'pdf'){
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
} elseif($file_split[1] == 'xls') {
header ("Content-type: application/msexcel");
} elseif($file_split[1] == 'zip') {
header ("Content-type: application/zip");
}
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file" );
readfile($file);
?>
The problem is that with excel files it asks me if I want to download twice.
Also it opens in excel not IE. Sometimes PDFs open in IE sometimes the
don't. What is wrong?
Also would I be better of collecting my stats then using a header to
re-direct to the right file(Rather than outputting it through a script)?
