<?php

  header("Content-Type: application/download ");
  header("Content-Disposition: filename=filename.txt ");
 readfile('/path/to/file.zip');

?>

Hi,
Is it possible to send a file to a browser?
I would like to allow people to download a file, but I don't want to give
away the path to the file, so a normal link wouldn't work.
I am hoping there is a way to use php to send the file using code, rather
than trying to first copy the file to a temp dir then give them the link,
then worry about deleting the temp dir again.

( I am not sure if my first email went through, I got an error back about
the mailbox being full)

Thanks,
Chris
