Ave,
IT WORKS!!
There wasn't one bit of a problem..
I'll just paste the code here again for anyone who might be looking for it.
I guess I was very close to it but just doing one thing wrong... I wasn't
specifying the Basename directive.
<?php
$file = "$P/$F";
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));
@readfile($file);
?>
Although this doesn't work on MAC... It works on Windows .. In Mac it still
opens up the file in it's supported software. But it's not an issue for me.
Thanks a ton guys...
