* download.php
*
* This PHP script sends a file in such a way that most web clients
* will offer to download the file to the client computer. It uses
* the Content-Disposition headeer extension to RFC2616
* (see
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html)
* to suggest the web client should download the file. This is
* implemented on most (but not all) web clients. I have tested it
* on Mozilla, Netscape 4.78 and 6.21, Internet Explorer 5.5, lynx,
* Konqueror and Opera. It works fully on all.
*
* Usage: download.php?filename=name_of_file.extension
*
* Examples: to download the SPSS file data.sav from index.html
* where download.php, index.html and data.sav are all in the
* same directory, put a link in index.html of the form
* <a href="download.php?data.sav">Download SPSS data file</a>.
* You can use paths in the filename, as in
* <a href="download.php?../include/data.sav">Download data</a>.
*
* You can specialise the code by putting a line of the form
* $filename="data.sav";
* immediately after this comment. This will allow you to send
* exactly one file for download, viz data.sav.
*
* Only one variable, $filename, is not defined by default. In
* principle, you can send a the name of the file to download
* through a POST request (e.g. on a form button). I haven't
* tested this.
*
* Restrictions: by default you can't download files with the
* extensions html, phtml, htm, phtm, inc, php or php3. This is to
* avoid potential security problems. For example, it is possible
* to use a PHP file to hide sensitive data such as the password
* to connect to an SQL server. If we allowed this script to offer
* php scripts for download, then a client request of the form
*
http://../download.php?sensitive.php could show the raw php file.
*
* Security issues: see the comments under Restrictions above. If
* in doubt, define $filename immediately after this comment and
* use a separate script for each downloadable file. I've tried
* using header( "Location: ... " ) to retrieve the file. It doesn't
* work on a solaris server, but does work on gnu/linux.
