chico1st Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 okay i have a pdf document in a database which i am downloading using this code.to take it out i use this code:[b]print "<a href='download.php?id=$id'>PDF!</a>";[/b]where download.php is :<?phpif(isset($_GET['id'])){// if id is set then get the file with the id from databaseinclude "../../Lib.php";$dbConn = connectToSpy();$id = $_GET['id'];$query = "SELECT name, type, size, content " . "FROM document WHERE documentID = '$id'";$result = mysql_query($query, $dbConn) or die('Error, image retrieve failed');list($name, $type, $size, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result);header("Content-type: $type");echo $content;exit;}?>But i was wondering how i can make a link that directly makes you download the file instead of opening it?
