You need to tell us more information, because plain HTML like this works fine: Click here to download the CSV file ...but I assume you want to restrict file downloads to only logged in users, or you wish to count the number of downloads, or something else??

The best solution, in my opinion, is just to use a straightforward HTML link: http://yourserver.org/foo.csv";>Download foo.csv The only caveat to this is that you must make the file available as a URL, meaning it must be stored under document root. If you instead want to have a PHP application decide whether the user is allowed to download the file as a way to restrict access to it, that's a different question. :-) Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] How do i provide Download facility ??
Hello, I am a newbie in this PHP world. I was just looking around for information on Download of files using PHP. I need to provide link/button, by clicking which a user can download a file (Say a CSV file..). Does PHP provide any class or methods to achieve the same...? Looking forward for your suggestions ... Thanking in advance !!! Venkatesh Hosur
