RE: [PHP] More on "JS alert that links to file"
You really can't send multiple files in a single response, and you certainly can't send multiple headers after data has gone through. Zipping would be a nice approach. Another would be to use AJAX calls to sequenctially download the files.

Have you considered just offering a page of links to each file? You can actually have the links go to a PHP script which can stream the file as a forced download, and the user can then download the files one-by-one by clicking the link as if it were a normal link. Alternatively, you could zip the files up into one archive using PHP and offer stream that file down to the user.

Re: [PHP] More on "JS alert that links to file"
I assume you want to force the files to the user as a series of files to download? Have you considered just offering a page of links to each file? You can actually have the links go to a PHP script which can stream the file as a forced download, and the user can then download the files one-by-one by clicking the link as if it were a normal link. Alternatively, you could zip the files up into one archive using PHP and offer stream that file down to the user.

[PHP] More on "JS alert that links to file"
I have a question that follows on from this discussion. I have a loop which creates a number of files. It first write each file to a server location then sets up the headers and asks the "Save As" question. This works OK once, but after the first download it exits without any errors or messages. If I remove the header() lines (ie just create the files on the server) no worries, it creates them all. (I start op buffer at the top of the code and flush the buffer on each loop). Anyone have any ideas please? Thanks Tony -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
