: eg:
:
: <a href="file.php">Download File Click Here</a>
:
: Now in the file.php you have:
:
: <?php
:
: header("Content-type: text/plain");
: header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=xxx.php");;
: // now we read the real file
: readfile('xxx.php');
:
: exit();
:
: ?>
:
: This won't put the headers into the downloaded file and remember to
: change the xxx.php into the file
: to be delivered and the xxx.php in the header to the name you would like
: them to save as.
:
: * the file.php in the top is not the real file but a script that reads
: into the buffer the real file!!
