Hello.
Im new to php and i had experience in ASP.
IM trying to get a pdf file from a remote folder and what happens is
that opens a new page.
Here is the code:
<a href="./uploads/files/<?php echo $pdf ?>">Get File!</a>
The $pdf has the value from the field 'file_pdf' and the type is
varchar. Example: "test.pdf".
Any help? THanks in advance 10  1497

Looks OK.

What do you get? Does your browser display the PDF as plain text? Then
the server doesn't deliver it with the correct content type.
Micha
Thanks for the answer Micha.
Well, when i try it on my local server i go to another page and what i
see is a page with a link with the name of the pdf file.
How can i see if it is the correct content type?
Best Regards

The script just prints a URL with the filename of the PDF. In the
resulting HTML source code it should look like
<a href="./uploads/files/test.pdf">Get File!</a>
You should check that. If for whatever reason the URL would be just
../uploads/files/
then you would probably get a server-generated index page containing a
list of the directory content. This would mean the problem is your PHP.
>How can i see if it is the correct content type?
If it's online, you can use <http://web-sniffer.net/>, for a local check
the "Live HTTP Headers" extension for Firefox is probably the easiest
way to examine the answer from the server. What matters is the Content-
Type header in the response, it describes of what type the returned data
is and how the browser should handle it. For PDFs the returned content
type should be "applicatio n/pdf", which will allow browsers to either
show the PDF inline (if a plugin is available) or to launch an external
viewer.
Micha
Yes, it shows
./uploads/files
What can i do to change that???

The first thing to do is to please stop top posting (top posting
fixed).
Next I would suggest reporting the bug you have found as it is pretty
much impossible for the output to show:
./uploads/files
However, if I assume that you have made a copy'n'paste error and teh
output actually shows:
./uploads/files/
then you should look at why you are getting nothing output by your
echo statement, which is most likely because there is nothng in the
variable $pdf.
Since you do not tell us how $pdf is supposed to get populated, there
is not much more we can tell you.
BTW, <?php echo $pdf ?should really say <?php echo $pdf; ?>

Well you do not show us where you get the value of $pdf from (as I
already said), but is it possible that you have register_global s set
on on the internet? If so you need to fix the program without
register_global s.
