You will need to add some headers to the page to popup the prompt, at
least
with
these.
$filename = 'somefile.tif';
$filesize = filesize($filename);
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-disposition: attachement; filename=' . $filename);
header('Content-length: ' . $filesize);

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried:
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filename));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);
AND
if (file_exists($new_file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($new_file
));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($new_file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($new_file);
exit;
}
But everything I do just sends heiroglyphics to the screen instead of
giving
the download box.

Try putting all of that inside of a headers_sent(){} block. If nothing
is displayed, it means that you've already sent something to the
browser, so the headers have already been sent and the extra ones you
are sending do nothing. This sort of thing is shown in your error log
also.
If you still get the tif displayed as text, then are you sure that the
tif is valid?

It should used on a second page.

[PHP] File Open Prompt?
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

You need to send down the right headers to the browser, so that it knows
it's meant to save the file, and not attempt to display it. If the link
was to a file, you'd have certain header that informed the browser the
mime type of the file.

You need to send the content-disposition header in addition to the content-type:
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename={$clean_file_name};, true);
The filename shouldn't contain spaces or other special characters.
Some browsers will handle it OK if they do, some won't.
There are several lots of posts in the archives that give more details
on how to do it as well as how to avoid some common problems people
have run into.
