Exclamation BLOB Help



I need some major help with the article on "Blobbing Data with PHP and MySQL"

I downloaded the files, didn't edit a thing except for the mysql information that needed to be edited.

I go to the showfiles.php file and ANY link i click on for the download now thing it does this...

Renames the file to downloadfile ! For example, if I upload a file called test.zip when I go to download it, it downloads downloadfile.zip. The contents of the zip file are correct and everything when I download it, but the name is wrong. It renames the file to the name of my downloadfile.php file!

Help would really really be appreciated.

I have'nt read the article, but if you are sending a download using header() - you can name the file in the header() call:
PHP Code:
 header"Content-type: application/octet-stream" );
header"Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$filename" ); 

Where $filename holds the name of the file...
