So far this will create a new file on my computer where ever I want, but it

Any suggestions?

Hello.
I tried what you suggested and it's working alright. The problem is, that it
doesn't always work. I adapted your suggestion to what I needed. Instead of
creating a file, I made a fuction that does basically the same. All listed
files are links that enable the user to download them.
So far
There's actually a function in (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0) that returns a file's MIME
type.
Here it is:
string mime_content_type ( string filename)

Yes, sure, but you many times won't know the mime type and might be
forced to use application/octet-stream.
You can do
if(dirname(realpath($user_files_dir . $_GET['filename'])) ==
$user_files_dir)
as a security check

I'm currently working on a multi-user filemanager, on which each user has

Hi!
In PHP, is there a way to allow the user to download a demo file (e.g.:
sample.exe) to their computer? And, then, automatically return to the Web site?
Thanks!

In PHP, is there a way to allow the user to download a file (e.g.:

How can the file be stored in C:\sample.txt, for example?

Either of these options will work fine. There was MASSIVE disscussions
about this a few weeks back -- check for threads started by myself in the

Ok I am trying to make a download area for files (including word files).
How do I force a download of a word document rather than have it opening in

Hi all,
I've seen some posts and info elsewhere regarding downloading files - mostly
stating problems with the way IE handles this function.
What I'm trying to do is :
1 - offer files,.. .doc, .zip and others
2 - allow the user to click on a URL, or button
3 - have the options to Ope
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I'm trying to automate the
download of a pdf file using PHP3.
What I want to achieve is when a download button is clicked I update a
simple DB and start the download.
The problem I'm getting is that in Browsers with the Acrobat Reader
installed the PDF
