I'm really struggling to get my application to open a pdf when the user clicks on a link.
So far the anchor tag redirects to a page which sends headers that are:
$filename='./pdf/jobs/pdffile.pdf; $url_download = BASE_URL . RELATIVE_PATH . $filename; header("Content-type:application/pdf"); header("Content-Disposition:inline;filename='$filename"); readfile("downloaded.pdf"); this doesn't seem to work, has anybody successfully sorted this problem in the past?

feof($fd)) { $buffer = fread($fd, 2048); echo $buffer; } } fclose ($fd); exit; // example: place this kind of link into the document where the file download is offered: // <a href="download. php? download_file=some_file. pdf">Download here</a> ?>
The Content-Type header is used to indicate the media type of the resource. The media type is a string sent along with the file indicating the format of the file. For example, for image file its media type will be like image/png or image/jpg, etc. In response, it tells about the type of returned content, to the client.
Example 2 on w3schools shows what you are trying to achieve.
<?php header("Content-type:application/pdf"); // It will be called downloaded.pdf header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename='downloaded.pdf'"); // The PDF source is in original.pdf readfile("original.pdf"); ?>
Also remember that,
It is important to notice that header() must be called before any actual output is sent (In PHP 4 and later, you can use output buffering to solve this problem)
