Of course, this is the resulting HTML you want to produce (or something like it). You'll obviously get PHP to echo the appropriate URL. This approach has the benefit that it'll work on anything. My prefered browser does not support javascript, so you look me out of your site if you use it.

You do not need javascript to do this, or an iframe. Use a meta refresh tag.

Sometimes I miss the way the web was before javascript :/

Re: [PHP] smart auto download file
gosh, I should have read before answering for the downloader thing.
BUT you actually need javascript if you want to do it.
You create an hidden iframe somewhere on your page, you give him the url of
your file and pop it is downloaded, and you need simply to use javascript
function setInterval to do that after a couple of seconds!

That's why Jean mentioned the use of Javascript and an Iframe. You have
the iframe point to your PHP script, and the rest of the page is what
you use for your message, etc. The Iframe can be hidden with CSS, and it
will still issue the call to download the file.

Re: [PHP] smart auto download file
Hi
thanks for your help jean
I've used this code before. But I want a little different thing.
I need to tell something to the user before starting download.
something like "Your download will begin in a moment..." . So header
couldn't help me. If I try to echo anything header doesn't work!
