I wrote this snippet of code to force the user to download my resume to their hard drives
rather than opening it up in the browser (since this has been known to cause some problems
on different platforms).
Files to be downloaded:
resume.doc, resume.rtf, resume.pdf
Link:
[ <a href="resume.php3?application=application/msword&fileName=resume.doc">.doc</a> ]
Variable explanations:
$application was set as application/msword for the .doc and .rtf files and application/octet-
stream for the .pdf file
$fileName was the file to be downloaded (resume.doc, resume.rtf, or resume.pdf)
And finally, the code:
(nothing other than what is below should be in the php file)
<?
$file = fopen("$fileName","r");
header("Content-type: $application");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fileName");
header("Content-Description: PHP3 Generated Data");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
fpassthru($file);
fclose($file);
?>
