Ok, I'm almost there. I took what everyone said (and a few Google
searches later) and built this, which works great on Firefox and
Safari (both mac and PC). The $path leads to a directory outside the
web root, and there is also an array with all the mime types in it
($mimetype).
$file_path = $path."/".$file;
$ext = explode(".",$file);
$filesize = filesize($file_path);
$extension = $mimetypes["$ext[1]"];
header("Content-type: $extension");
header("Content-length: $filesize");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
$file = file_get_contents($file_path);
echo ($file);
The problem is IE7. All browsers work with this code as is but IE
says "Internet Explorer cannot download test.pdf from XXX...."
Any suggestions?
