Download A File From A Form Button
I can't get a form coding to recognize a download.php to download a file to
the client. I need the edits of the form for a MySQL table, but the
following form code only wants to download 'download.php' and won't access
download.php so the code can take affect. How can the action item call
download.php?

<form name="form1" method="post" action="download.php"
onSubmit="

MM_validateForm('LastName','','R');MM_validateForm ('email','','NisEmail');
MM_validateForm('email','','R');
MM_validateForm('FirstName','','R');
return document.MM_returnValue">
<p><b><font size="3">First Name:</font></b>
<input type="text" name="FirstName" maxlength="50" size="30">
<font size="3"><b> Last Name:</b></font>
<input type="text" name="LastName" maxlength="50" size="30">
</p>
eMail:
<input type="text" name="email" size="40" maxlength="50">
</b></p>
<input type="submit" value="Download" />

Right Button Click On Any URL Posts That Url To A Server-side Form
this isn't really a php question.
But php is involved, sort of, and I usually get good
answers here, regardless.

I want to build a browser (perhaps as a firefox plugin)
that, for any right-button click on any url on any page, posts the url
to
a server-side php form, that prompts for additional descriptive
metadata and
then inserts that link into a mysql schema.

I know how to do all the server-side php/mysql stuff, but I don't know
how to connect
any right-click on any url (inside the client) as a post to my
server-side URL.

I can imagine this happening, vaguely, as a firefox plugin mechanism.
Does anybody know of any how-to examples, that do something like this?
Or is there an even easier, pure javascript way to do this?

Delete Temp File On Server
I am using the following to generate an xml doc to the users browser:

$fp = fopen("document.xml", 'w+');
$str = ($xml_frame->Fields('top_xml').$content->Fields('xml').$content->Fields('xml').$xml_frame->Fields('bottom_xml'));
fwrite($fp, $str);
fclose($fp);
header( 'Location: https://www.website.com/document.xml') ;

I would like to delete 'document.xml' after it has been loaded to the user's browser but unlinking the file kills it before it loads and sleep hangs everything. I there a way to detect when it's finished downloading to the user?

Hiding Download Location When Downloading File From Server?
I have a requirement where we need to sell online the survey reports which are stored on our server in .pdf formats. Now i have two options once the payment is made i can directly give the client a link to download the file, which would reveal the download location to the client which can be reused by others too.

Second option is to copy the file to a temporary dir and then pointing the download link to that dir and lateron deleting the file from the temporary folder. But in this case i would have to setup a cron job to daily remove all the old files from the dir. i am not comfortable with this idea.

Is there any other way to do this? Can i be notified by php when the download is completed at the users end so that i can delete the file from temp folder once its done (using the same download script instead of running a cron job later).

Use Download Manager If File Link: File.php?file=something.zip
I have a piece of code:

<?php
    $path = "/home/surfall/secret";
    $mainpath = "$path$file";
    header("Cache-Control: ");# leave blank to avoid IE errors
    header("Pragma: ");# leave blank to avoid IE errors
    header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="".$file.""");
    header("Content-length:".(string)(filesize($mainpath)));
    sleep(1);
    readfile("$mainpath");
?>

However I can't seem to get download manager to work with it? So that I can download the file in pieces, thus the download will be faster. (I use Flashget as the download manager)

File Download Problem - Change A Binary File Into A Text And Open It In A Browser
I have uploaded files to mysql (doc and xls) using the tutorial. The problem comes when I try to download. Again I followed instructions in the tutorial. When I click on the link to download the file, it formats it as text and sends it to the browser instead of seeing it as binary and offering me a download box. PHP Code:

    include 'includes/configdb.php'
    include 'includes/opendb.php'

    $id      = $_GET['id'];
    $query   = "SELECT name, type, size, content FROM upload WHERE id = '$id'";
    $result  = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
    list($name, $type, $size, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result);

    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
    header("Content-length: $size"); ....

Creating Link To File Or Temp File For User Download
I am designing a document management system (DMS). The files are stored
in a directory on the webserver. The filenames for the documents are
stored in a MySQL database. The DMS will track revisions from the
initial version through the updates. We must have strict permissions
set so only authorized personnel can access some documents. All of the
documents when uploaded are given totally random names such as
"114723fb5422c6bd5ed18f6.doc". Is there a way, without the webserver
creating a new file name "document_specs_ver2.doc" to have the file
download named "document_specs_ver2.doc".

If I must physically create a new file, how do I know when the
webserver would be allowed to delete it? Notes: The files will be in
several different file formats, not just "doc".

Header Function, File Download, Temp File Disappears
I have the following headers:

if (preg_match("/compatible; MSIE/i", "$browser_type")){
header("Content-Tranfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-type: ".$assoc["type"]."");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="".$assoc["name"].""");}
echo $assoc["file"];

which starts the download of an mp3 file in one particular case. If you do not save target as and just select 'open' the temp file is zero bytes even though the download process took a while and showd how much progress you were making. So something is happening to the temp file.

How will I be able to have the Browse button to open the "file browse"

As I believe you can not use GET but must use POST method for form.
Is there any means that I can use GET cause I need to get form variables

Should I put include the HTML file in my PHP file? I want also to remember which button the user clicks on.

Email With File Attachements - How To Upload File To Server From Browser?
I have a PHP script that sends an email with attachment and works great when

However this file needs to be on the same server as the script.

I want to develop a webpage where people can send attachments that are
stored on their local PC.

I know I can use the <input type="file" > HTML to generate a file box that
allows the user to navigate to a file on their PC and product a file path,
but how do I then upload this file onto file server to email out with my PHP
email script?

Is there an easy way to do this?

Or can I approach this problem from a completely different angle.

The only way that works is when the rss xml feed is placed on my server. I could upload manually the xml rss feed but I need a php script to be called from flash and then parsed. What I need is the script to make that remote xml being "local" to my flash movie.

Trying other stuff Ive found on forums about "proxy scripting" but that only works if you are using flash player 6, flash player 7 even don´t allow redirection scripts at all.
