shlomikalfa Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 hi there, I was wandering if there is a possibility to send a file from the server to the client [client is downloading] without having to create the file on the local server.... using MIME headers or any other way.... I.E. 1. Read from DB: "THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEND IN A FILE NAMED TXT.TXT" 2. Creating a link that user clicks on and a file download starts. [Without saving the content read from DB in a local folder on the server and then linking to that file, then deleting the file....] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
