On this page http://www.nationalservicesscotland.com/publications/a-z.php I use the following code to donwload binary data. It is jsut gibberish. I think the offending line is echo "<a class=\"pdflinks\" href=\"$link\"</a>$name</span>"; How do I recompile the binaryy data into docs and pdfs? <? $letter="a"; $query= "SELECT * FROM publications WHERE alphabet='$letter'"; $result= mysql_query($query); while ($row = @mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){ $row['pdf_size'] = $row['pdf_size']/ 1024; $row['pdf_size']= number_format($row['pdf_size'], 0); $size= $row['pdf_size']; $name = str_replace("_", " ", $row['pdf_name']); $name = str_replace(".pdf", "", $name); $link= $row['content']; echo "<a class=\"pdflinks\" href=\"$link\"</a>$name</span>"; echo " "; echo "<span class=\"sizes\">($size kb)</span>"; ?><a href="a-z.php?id=<?=$row['id'];?>">link</a> <br> <? } -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
