Save as dialog button

[emediastudios]

I wanted to know if there was a php code that i could assign to a button that would open the save as dialog box.

I have used some code that i found on the net but i cant seem to get the box to open.

This is the code im using.

 

<script language="JavaScript">

var isReady = false;

function doSaveAs(){

if (document.execCommand){

if (isReady){document.execCommand("SaveAs");}

}else{

alert('Feature available only in Internet Exlorer 4.0 and later.');

}

}

</script>

then i get the button to doSaveAs()

 

I know this is a javascript question but i was unsure if there was a way of doing it with php?

PHP is entirely server side, so once your page loads, there is no way to run a PHP script without doing an AJAX request of some sort. This, as you've already surmised, is done with Javascript.

Your isReady variable is false. So it'll never execute the document.execCommand action.
