PHP Download Script

[PittsburghRed]

I have provided for a pdf file download on my website with a PHP script. It works for me perfectly, just like any other file I have ever downloaded. Someone has reported that it did not work for her. Do these scripts tap into the PC's downloading function ability so that a script would not necessarily always work for every PC? Is there a "best" downloading script to use?

Just linking to the file works a treat.

Well, I discovered the download did not work completely for me ... the file was there, but when I tried to open it, I got a "damaged file message". Reason: I uploaded in ASCII instead of binary. Problem solved.

And I don't believe a simple link works ... the browser cannot display a pdf file.

Depends on the browser, fire fox and IE both support PDF as long as adobe reader is installed.
