Dowload script

[nbt725]

Dear Sir,

Hello ! I want to write a script to allow downloading a file from server, which first asks for the path to store the file and then downloads to user's local machine.

Please guide me.

Thanks & Regards,

You can use this sample script for download files from server.(didn't test)
Then the default download manger for the browser will do the needful for you. Here you will get the save as dialog box. Its completely happening on the browser level. not because of the script, but with the support of headers you are calling to the download manager.
Thanks and good luck.

<?php 
$file = 'some_file_name_here.pdf';
if($file)
{
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file.'"');
readfile($file);
exit();
}
?>
