[SOLVED] PHP send file [ Apache Server --> Client browser ]


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I thought this would be simple, but have been running into some trouble.

 

I have a file on my server saved as a tar. I need that file to be sent to the user [client] when he/she clicks "DOWNLOAD FILE". Also I want to force the user with the save dialog box, so he/she can save the file in the directory he/she wants to save it in.

 

Any pointers on how this can be done? I mean this happens all the time when you download something from any website. Is there any code snippet that can do this?

 

Thanks.
