You can put the files that need to be downloaded in a directory somewhere
outside of the web server root, but in that case your PHP program will need
to read the file and print it to the browser, and it will also need printing
the HTTP headers:
Content-type: application/octet-stream
Content-dispos

The download files are in a directory protected by htaccess which it

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

That is a very nice solution, the problem is, the files are stored on disk,
not on the DB. I suppose it can be addapted to work with the disk, can't it?

create a download php file:

if($res && mysql_num_rows($res)) {
$file=mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
if($_GET['downaload']) {

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

Using this method,.. works OK if you choose to save the file, however if you
choose to open the file you get a weird behaviour where IE says it can't
find the file and a subsequent prompt to create a new one. Does anyone know
why it does this and how to overcome it ?
At this stage I've resorted t
Try this:
As you give the client Content-Type: application/save-as - it will not know
what mime type the file is,
and the browser will give the user a save-as prompt.
This works in explorer - I haven't checked it in Mozilla etc - so you might
have to tweak it a bit.
