Greetings,
I'm having a problem trying to get a file download prompt.
Basically I have a page with image links.
When the link is clicked, the user is directed to another page I have. That
page finds the image path based on the image ID from the previous page.
Once the image path is found I copy the image to the local webserver and
rename the proprietary extension, .0D9 to .tif
Once the file is renamed to .tif I want the download prompt to come up. You
know, where it says, "Open" "Save" "Cancel".
I've tried using:
$fp = fopen($new_file,"r") ;
header("Content-Type: image/tif");
while (! feof($fp)) {
$buff = fread($fp,filesize($new_file));
print $buff;
}
But that just gives me heiroglyphics on the screen instead of prompting the
user to download.
Here is my code that copies and renames the file:
if ($page != "" || $page != " ") {
exec("xcopy ".$page." ".$topage."");
}
$orig_file = $topage."\\".$objectid.".0D9";
//echo $orig_file;
$new_file = $topage."\\".$objectid.".tif";
//echo $new_file;
rename($orig_file,$new_file);
Any ideas on how to make the browser give the download prompt for $new_file?
Thanks,
Dan
