Hi Where are you from Mark ? I am an Indian and I admire many of them from US and German . he he he and you are admiring US. Anyway thats cool . But I don't get your question . Are you looking to download a file ? There are lots of scripts in the header mannual of php . Try to explore it .. I have taken a sample code for you . <?php header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . urlencode($file)); header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Type: application/download"); header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file)); flush(); // this doesn't really matter. $fp = fopen($file, "r"); while (!feof($fp)) { echo fread($fp, 65536); flush(); // this is essential for large downloads } fclose($fp); ?> http://in3.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php I hope you are asking about the same . If not let me know or some one else may help you .
