Hmm...

I have a php script, I post a form to it. I check the data, then I want to
display a thank you page and do a Header("Location: http://file.zip"); How
do I redirect to the thank you and do the Header("Location:... in the same
php script????????

Some, guys say in related threads that the double redirect isn't needed
'cause you won't see the first redirect. But, if the second redirect is to a
file with a ".zip" extension then the download dialog will be displayed. So,
the first redirect will be seen.

Perhaps you could try a metatag refresh so the call to file.zip kicks in
after a second or two...

If that doesn't help you out, I suggest a repost but using a more
descriptive subject line.

Please use a descriptive subject.

First do the header redirect to the thanks page. I think if you include
another redirect header in the thanks page. you can download the zip file
and let the thanks page on the page.
