Question

I’m uploading a file to a server then I store the original file name in a database.

Now for downloading I am currently using something like this:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=<?=urlencode($file)?>

It works but it replaces space characters with +

How can I restore the original filename when downloading?

Answer 1

The urlencode function is putting the + signs in your filename string – if you dont want the + signs remove the urlencode – then put the string in quotes :

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file.'"');
