I ended up using a session instead but thanks.

I have the following code to download my files. The problem is the path is currently hardcoded. I'm planning on putting this whole code in a function that will take in a path as a parameter. My problem is my main file (which will pass the parameter) is located elsewhere. For example, I have a file called index.php which displays all the files for download and download.php. Index.php should include a way to pass a parameter to the function located in download.php so I can download files from different paths. Ask for clarification if needed! Thanks. include 'db.php'; ignore_user_abort(true); set_time_limit(0); // disable the time limit for this script $path = "repository/"; // change the path to fit your websites document structure $dl_file = preg_replace("([^\w\s\d\-_~,;:\[\]\(\].]|[\.]{2,})", ' ', $_GET['download_file']); // simple file name validation $fullPath = $path.$dl_file; if ($fd = fopen ($fullPath, "r")) { $fsize = filesize($fullPath); $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath); $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]); switch ($ext) { case "pdf": header("Content-type: text/php"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); // use 'attachment' to force a file download break; // add more headers for other content types here default; header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); break; } header("Content-length: $fsize"); header("Cache-control: private"); //use this to open files directly while(!feof($fd)) { $buffer = fread($fd, 2048); echo $buffer; } } fclose ($f
