forced download.

[spires]

Hi,

Does any one know why:
when i click a link to download (page1)
the link throws me to the download page (page2 see * code)
then throws me back to page one?

even if i:
click a link to download (page1)
throws me to a jump page (page2). which, using a header location
throws me to the download page (page3 see * code)
then throws me back to page one?

why does it always comeback to page one?

thanks for any help on this.  :)

*[code]
$dir = '../cart/mp31/';
$file = $dir.$_REQUEST['userfile_name1'];

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header('Content-length: '.filesize($file));
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));

header( "Content-Description: File Transfer");
@readfile($file);
[/code]

because of the "attachement", it opens a popup without trying to open the download page in the browser

Thanks for the reply.

Do you know if there is any way around this.

I want it to go:
page 1 (link to download)
Page 2 (jump page)
Page 3 (download page)
then stop at page 2

Can this be done?
