James,
I can. The text in square brackets is a pdf filename referenced in full from
a Filemaker database using Lasso.
<Form action="fileaccess.php" method="post">
<input type=hidden name="fp" value="[field:'Doc_filename']">
<input type="Submit" value="Download PDF file">
</form>
And the php page which is fileaccess.php:
<?php
$fp1 = "D:\\Pdf\\" . $fp;
$len = filesize($fp1);
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$fp1");
header("Content-Length: $len");
readfile($fp1);
?>
HTH
George
