A couple more headers than absolutely necessary, but this should work:
?php
// open file and send to user
if($fp = fopen($downloadfile, r)){
// output headers
$downloadsize = filesize($downloadfile);
header ( Expires: Mon, 1 Apr 1974 05:00:00 GMT );
header ( Last-Modified: . gmdate(D,d M YH:i:s T) );
header ( Pragma: no-cache );
header ( Content-type: application/octet-stream; name=$downloadfile );
header ( Content-length: $downloadsize );
header ( Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$downloadfile );
// read out file
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);
} else {
// can't open file
}
?

Hello all,
I've got a script that generates a txt file, compresses it into a Zip file and it
all happens on a directory that is out of apache's web site.
This script generates the file based on MySQL server information and I have it then
sent to the user's e-mail address. What I would like to do is to make the PHP script
throw the file to the user's browser so that it would download it automatically.
This file is created on a directory that is not the same as the web server where the
pages and php scripts are located.
Anyone could help me with that?
Thanks.
