print to the screen instead of the file downloaing. Why?

[blinky001]

You need to output the correct headers to the browser telling it that your content is a file not a page. Try Googling the issue and I'm sure you will find a solution for your file types.

[adam291086]

all the headers are set up correctly

[blinky001]

You sure? You shouldn't wee that if the headers are correctly set, do you have a link?

I'm no expert at this sort of thing... but php.net has plenty of these scripts...
