I have a the php file: /var/www/html/dev/view_files_disply.php
This file accepts a POST argument which identifies $filename (example 1392_foobar.txt) of a file stored on the server at:
/var/www/html/files/1392_foobar.txt
This filename is generated by PHP and is therefore rather cryptic. I have more meaningful filenames stored in a database
example: 1392_foobar.txt -> foobar.txt
I would like the view_files_display.php script to send the appropriate file to the user, with the appropriate filename (foobar.txt), but to leave the file 1392_foobar.txt on the server unmodified for future requests.
I am currently considering copying the file and renaming it, and then using a header(location=) to redirect the user to the renamed file, but I'm not sure how to ensure that the temporary file is deleted afterwards.
Any suggestions? Thanks, Grant

Hi there,
I would like to send an arbitrary file to a user. This file will be on the server in the PHP directory. I will also want to rename it before it is sent, but keep the old file with the old filename.
Any help is appreciated... Thanks, Grant
