Question

I am trying to make an online kickstart config file creator. After the file is created on the server how do I get the download dialog to pop up so the user can download it?

Answer 1

Content-Disposition header..

// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');
// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
