how to: change the filename at the 'File Download' dialog

[zyrag]

in the File Download common dialog, what appear is the ff lines:

"You are downloading the file:
mypage.php from myserver.com"

where mypage.php is my php download page.

How do i change it so that mypage.php will be replaced by the filename of the file to be downloaded?

Below is the download script:
<?
$filename = basename($archive_dir . $myfiles.tar.gz&quot;
header(&quot;Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename&quot;
header(&quot;Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary&quot;
header(&quot;Content-Type: application/octet-stream&quot;
readfile (&quot;$archive_dir/$filename&quot;
?>

thanks,

header(&quot;Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=&quot;.$filename ); ______________________________________________________________________

karver, i tried your suggestion but i still got the same result - it's still the page name and not the filename.

This line:

header(&quot;Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename&quot;

Is $filename set correctly when used in this line? Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:
