Change displayed file name to download

--0-805244496-1268598598=:29662
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,

I'm using the following code:
____________________
$fp = fopen($filename, 'r+');
$content = fread($fp,
filesize($filename));
fclose($fp);
header("Content-type:
application/msword");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=$filename");
echo $content;
exit;
___________________

Now when downloading a file the default name that appears for the user is
the realname of the file i the server with the real path the only
difference is that the slashes are modified by underscore.

My
question is: is there any way how to control the name that will be
displayed for the customer? Or at least skip the path and display just
the file's name?

Thank you

Re: Change displayed file name to download

Hi

Make a $new_filename and put that in the header:

$neW_filename = "downloadfile." . $filetype;
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$new_filename");
(the content of the file is now in $content, so if you like you could
also change the value of $filename if you preferrer that)

You'll need to detect $filetype from $filename to always have the same
filename as the original file.

Re: Change displayed file name to download

You can set the name to display as you see fit, just change $filename
to your liking right before the header() call. If you just want to cut
the path, use basename($filename)
