I made the changes you suggested and it's still a no go. I'm sure of the
query because
print "<img src=\"$path\">";
Will display the image I'm trying to download.
This is my environment.
PHP Version 3.0.16
Apache/1.3.3 Cobalt
safe_mode 1
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass");
mysql_select_db("db");
$query = "SELECT file_path from photos where photos_id=$photos_id";
$result = @mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$path = $row[0];
$file_name = basename($path);
//print "<img src=\"$path\">";
//print "<div align=\"center\">$file_name</div>";
header("Content-Type: application/download\n");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file_name");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile($path);
?>
This should work shouldn't it?
