How to replace a download with a new download

[Osram]

I have made a Php program that downloads an Inno setup installation file for installing a program. However, if I for one or another reason want to make a new download of the same Inno setup installation file, the previous file will still be found in the Download folder. Each of the downloads get a number in parenthesis, setup(1), setup(2), setup(3) etc. However, I wondered if it is posible to erase the previous file in the same process as I download a new one, so that however many downloads I do, there will all the time only be one occurence of this file in the Download folder.

The download code is as follows:

$exe = "Inno script/Test_setup.exe";
	header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); 
	header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"Test_setup.exe\""); 
	header("Content-Length: " . filesize($exe)); 
	readfile($exe); 

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely

You cannot overwrite or delete a file from the client's computer. The user has to tell their browser that they want to overwrite, and that means a Save dialog.

So how should one then intiate and make this dialog?

PHP can recommend a Save dialog by using Content-Disposition: attachment. Which you're already doing. Otherwise it's up to the browser.

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. Is there something I can add to the Content-Disposition line?

No.

Ok. Thanks.
