Force File Download on Page Load

ziycon

I'm wondering if its possible to force a file to be downloaded when you go to a certain page. Say if you click on the link for the page and then it will go to that page and give you the prompt box to save or download the file?

Ok, I'm getting this error in the file when I download it?

try to use the absolute path of the file.

ziycon

Nope, the absolute path didn't work either! :S

Markus

You positive the file exists?

Found the problem, the link being passed to the download page was not formated correctly which was why the page was coming up with the error, thanks for your help.
