Let users download directory files?

I have a script that lists all files in a directory. It works fine, except, I want users to be able to download the files. The problem is that if a user downloads a php file, for example, it saves as an html file. How do I change this? I don't want the user to have to change the file extension manually.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 keeps your PC free from malicious code, adware, spyware, hacker attacks, spam and network fraud.

On the code where you allow the user to download the file, you need to add header information of what type of file is downloading. By default it will treat it as plain text / html unless specified.

example for a pdf file

<?php

// We'll be outputting a PDF

header('Content-type: application/pdf');

// It will be called downloaded.pdf

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');

// The PDF source is in original.pdf

readfile('original.pdf');

I wouldnt recommend that though..Email me using the email link on my profile if you have questions on this as I wont be checking this question for the comments. Report It
