CanMan2004 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hi allI have the following script which forces a file download[code] $dir="../../documents/"; $getfile=$dir.$filename; header("Content-type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); header("Content-length: ".filesize($getfile)); header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($getfile)."\""); readfile("$getfile");[/code]The problem is that if I run this, there is no way to perform a close window script or a page redirection script when the file download box has poped up, the reason I ask is that when you excuite the above code, you areu are left with a blank page.Does that make sense?Thanks in advanceEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destruction Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Normally this would be called as a link from another page using the standard <a href......... etc. If you're doing this, you should be able to use target="_self" as an attribute of the link. This will open the download file box in the same window without moving on or opening a new blank window. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll double check but I'm fairly certain that's the way around it.Dest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
