As long as the user that Apache is running under has NTFS read
permissions to the target folder, then you should have no problems. A
quick and dirty force method that I use would be something like this:
$file = "x:\\path\\to\\the\\file.pdf";
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);
Note the double backslashes! Cheers.

Hi!
When using a browse- (FILE-button) in a form, then I want to use default path
like c:\test. Is this possible to achieve this through PHP???
I want to come to c;\test when I push the file-button (no matter what the path
was before)
Best regards

Are you saying that you want the default directory on the users
computer to select a file from to be "c:\test"? If so that cannot be
done be due to security and cross-platform compatibly issues.

Hi!
>From a browse/file-button in a html-form, how Do I retrieve the actual name
>including the path to it???
I don't want just filename.doc.
This would returnthe filename only...
$doc = $_FILES['frmNewsDocument']['name'];
I want to retrieve c:\program\filename.doc
