The result I'm looking for is like the CGI script at netscape for downloading
NS6 - it takes you to a page which says aomething like "The download should
start automatically" and then the download begins. I'm having trouble figuring
out how to do this in PHP - I suspect through ignorance of the appropriate
HTTP headers. Am I looking for something like Content-type: multipart? So what
I'm looking to achieve is a bit like what this obviously fails to do (but
hopefuly you can see what I'm aiming at):
<?php
$fp = fopen("myfile.foo","r");
header("Content-type: application/foo");
header("Content-Disposition: filename=myfile.foo");
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>Download</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The download should start automatically. If it does not, right click
the following link and choose "Save as ..."</p>
<p><a href="myfile.foo">Download MyFile</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Obviously what actually happens with the above is that the HTML after the PHP
script is appended to myfile.foo.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
TIA, Darren
