I have a question similar to questions that have been answered here.  I have a php application that is storing files as blobs in a MySQL database.  I am accessing the files with something like <a href=file.php?id=xx>.  

This is working fine, except that when someone saves the file the default file name is file.php.  I have the filename stored in the table but do not know of any way to make the browser take the default name.  Anyone have any ideas?

Hello ...

Here's a program called savepeople.php4 that sends the contents of a file called requests.xyz out to your browser and saves it there as a file called hello.txt.  I think it's the sort of thing that you're lloking for / will be able to adapt.

Code:

<?php header ('Content-type: Application/Octet-stream'); header ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="hello.txt"'); foreach (file("../data/requests.xyz") as $line) {        print $line; } ?>

It's online at http://www.wellho.net/demo/savepeople.php4 if you want to try it out.

That was what I was looking for.  Thank you very much.
