krex10 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hey guys, I am not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes: I saved a bunch of pdf files in a MEDIUMBLOB format in a database, and now I want to be able to open/read them and trigger a Print Dialog to print them by simply clicking a link. Is that possible? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236263-pdf-files-in-mysql/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
phppaper Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php check the part where: <?php // We'll be outputting a PDF header('Content-type: application/pdf'); // It will be called downloaded.pdf header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"'); // The PDF source is in original.pdf readfile('original.pdf'); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236263-pdf-files-in-mysql/#findComment-1214779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krex10 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hey thanks for the reply But I don't understand how sending the file inline helps me send it straight to the print dialog? Also does inline mean the document opens in the browser?
