Hello,

What I need:

by clicking on the link to my php file (for example download_tutorials.php) a new window will appear with an url address to my tutorials.zip file (the url has to appear in the Internet explorer "Address" bar! Something like "http:www.htmltutorials.net/tutorials.zip").

Once again:
Let's say by clicking on download_tutorials.php (actually opening it) I will see a new window "http:www.htmltutorials/tutorials.zip" + actually another download window will pop up as well ("Save as").

I've tried to use a simple code with "header redirection" (found on Google) it opens a new window but there is no "http:www.htmltutorials.net/tutorials.zip" url in the Interent explorer's Address bar.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

check my download snippet:

If you download a class from my site you see this kind of code in action.

Thanks, looks like that's the code I need. My apologies, I am newbie here, and somehow cannot make anything out of the code. Could you send me or PM an example with real values?

Like in this line:
$fullPath = $path.$_GET['downnload_file'];

I really do not know what to enter instead of 'download_file'.. (probably the name of the file I want to download?)

Thanx

On my site the filenames are from a database.
but you can use like this

call the download script like download.php?download_file=example.zip

inside the download script you need to define the path where the files are stored ($path)
