Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,

I'm using the following code:
____________________
$fp = fopen($filename, 'r+');
$content = fread($fp,
filesize($filename));
fclose($fp);
header("Content-type:
application/msword");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=$filename");
echo $content;
exit;
___________________

Now when downloading a file the default name that appears for the user is
the realname of the file i the server with the real path the only
difference is that the slashes are modified by underscore.

My
question is: is there any way how to control the name that will be
displayed for the customer? Or at least skip the path and display just
the file's name?

Thank you

Hi

Make a $new_filename and put that in the header:

$neW_filename = "downloadfile." . $filetype;
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$new_filename");
(the content of the file is now in $content, so if you like you could
also change the value of $filename if you preferrer that)

You'll need to detect $filetype from $filename to always have the same
filename as the original file.

You can set the name to display as you see fit, just change $filename
to your liking right before the header() call. If you just want to cut
the path, use basename($filename)
