Download file

I used to do upload file and now i'm trying to download the file from the upload folder...can anyone tell me how to do it.

 

Let say i have folder called "upload" and there is an image called "image.jpg"

then how to create a link to download the image.jpg

 

<a href="upload/image.jpg">Download file</a>

This is wrong!, can anyone help me

Im not sure of your question. Are you asking how to prompt the user to download the file on a link click (IE a forced download?)

[robert_gsfame]

i want to download a file that is stored inside my upload folder

 

i try this but it didn't work as file always in txt

<?php header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='image.jpg'");

  header("Content-length: 10000");

  header("Content-type: jpg");?>

 

 

 

which part is wrong??

[mikesta707]

Content-type has to be a valid mime-type.

 

http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp

 

that has a list of mime types for the different file types

[robert_gsfame]

that's already valid mikesta, what's wrong with 'image/jpeg'??

[mikesta707]

the code you posted only says : jpg not image/jpg

file:///C:/DOCUME~1/WINDOW~1/LOCALS~1 was typed on url
