This is where you put whatever chunk of code you use to create the
file that you wish the user to download. If this is a PDF file on
disk, you can do something as simple as readfile("filename.pdf")..
or if you are generating it yourself.. then, again, you'll probably
use readfile("whatever.pdf"), since (though I have never used them)
I am pretty sure the PDF libs don't have an output function, so you
have to write to disk.
Example 1 on this page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php)
shows EXACTLY what you are trying to do with one small change, make
the word "inline" read as "attachment" so it'll force the user to
download, as opposed to displaying in the browser.
