I have a page where the user clicks a link to download a file, but the
file is out side of the root DIR.
passing certain variables in the link, (type, file_name) I call the
correct file...
However, it's stopped working?
My code below shows how I select the correct mime info to pass to the
header.. but I keep getting promted to download an HTML file all the
time...
if ($type == 'pdf') {$mimeinfo = "application/pdf";} else
if ($type == 'doc') {$mimeinfo = "application/msword";} else
if ($type == 'exe') {$mimeinfo = "application/octet-stream";} else
if ($type == 'ppt') {$mimeinfo = "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint";}
else
if ($type == 'xls') {$mimeinfo = "application/vnd.ms-excel";} else
if ($type == 'xml') {$mimeinfo = "text/xml";} else
if ($type == 'zip') {$mimeinfo = "application/zip";}
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($path));
header("Content-Type: $mimeinfo");
readfile("$path");
My problem page is:
http://www.risk.sungard.com/download/?id=12617
click in the link 'Settlements >>' and you'll see what I mean, it says
it's a pdf, but when you have to specify the download location, it saves
simply the html page?
can anyone spot my probably stupid error?
