It sounds more like a PC help than coding. Why can't you right click on the link and do SAVE IMAGE AS ? This will download the file for you to the location you want.

I think you could do this by setting up a mod rewrite to redirect .jpg (or whatever image extension) to a php file that sets the header to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or something that would be downloaded.Then, draw the image using imagejpeg or something. The browser will want to download the file as whatever the basename in the url is, so you would want to dynamically generate that.

You are talking about forcing the download dialog box right?

You can do force downloading with PHP like mikesta707 stated, but you can also do it with .htaccess:

 

<Files *.jpg>
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</Files>

I got the result from this code.

 

 

//Get the Query String

$file=$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"];

 

//Get the values from Query String

$bidno=$_GET['bid'];

$picno=$_GET['npic'];

$auct_id=$_GET['auct_id'];

 

//Cut five Character of Query String

$file=substr($file, 5, 2000);

$filename=$auct_id."_".$bidno."_".$picno.".jpg";

 

//Display the Save Box

header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream;");

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename.'');

readfile($file);
