Hey,
Well sure there is:
$fp = fopen($filename, 'r') or die('damn');
$read = fread($fp, filesize($filename)) or
die('damn');
$filestr = basename($filename);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=$filestr");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
echo $read;
exit;
Neat And Clean!
Your authentication can be done above that piece of
code, you then open the file, read it through send the
filename download as $filestr, and the contents
$read.
Simple!
