Hi, your request is a bit vague. Are the buttons part of a form that sends via post / get? Or a JavaScript confirm window?

[gelo.salazar]

header('Location: Downloads/'.$path);

 

After this happens, a save file dialog box will appear. It is a JavaScript Confirm window.

If it's JavaScript then try:

var save = confirm('are you sure you wish to save this ..');

if (save ==true){
    Window.location = http://www.URL.tosendemailfunction?send=true&id....
}
else
{
window.location = somewhere else
}

 

Hope this gives u the general idea

It's not javascipt. It is part of the browser's user interface and you don't have any access to what choice was selected except via the fact that the file was or was not downloaded from the server.

Sorry for what ive said. I thought it is a JavaScript.

 

So what should I do now? How can i control if the file has been downloaded from the server?

PFMaBiSmAd is right, I am sorry, I was under the assumption you had wrote the dialog window yourself. You might want to look into taking more contol of the download aspect of your site. A good place to start is the jquery UI. Your could perhaps look at writing your open dialog window using jquery.
