Tigers Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Gudday all I would like to give users the option of viewing or saving downloaded content. I have a window on some sites that allows that. The following code,via an HTML link, button etc. <?php header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=idolatry.pdf"); header("Content-type: application/pdf"); readfile("idolatry.pdf"); ?> automatically saves the content (in this case idolatry.pdf) into the downloads folder of the user's machine. Could it be set up to ask the user to either see the content or save content (in any location)? Doubtless this question has been asked previously but a search did not reveal any posts that might be of use.

Jacques1 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 If you want the client to open the file rather than just download it, leave out the "Content-Disposition" line.
