Hi,
I assume that you mean you want to send the file as
application/octet-stream. Take a look at this:
ob_start();
$path = 'path to directory where file resides';
$filename = 'the name of the file';
ob_end_clean();
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
$filesize = filesize($path.$filelocation);
header("Content-Length: $filesize");
echo file_get_contents($path.$filelocation);
You could also use fread() or similar if the file is larger.
Let me know if it helped.

Subject: Pushing a file to the browser
Hello,
I have a script I've created which takes a file upload, monkeys with the
data in it, and needs to push the new file out to the browser. Everything
is coded and working up to that last point, but I've never pushed out a file
to the browser before. Does anyone have the code for this laying around
that I can see (and modify)?
Mike
