Hi,

Can anybody pls let me know whether following code will work for
prompting user to download image/audio/video/text file by using link
from howhow library?

--------------------------------
HAWHAW code
--------------------------------
require("hawhaw.inc");

$myPage = new HAW_deck("Example 1");
$myPage->use_simulator();

$link1 = new HAW_link("download image","download_file.php","download
image");

$myRule = new HAW_rule();

$myPage->add_text($link1);
$myPage->create_page();


--------------------------------
PHP file download code - download_file.php
--------------------------------
$file = "test.flv";
download_file($file);
function download_file($file){

//First, see if the file exists
if (!is_file($file)) { die("<b>404 File not found!</b>"); }

//Gather relevent info about file
$len = filesize($file);
$filename = basename($file);
$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));

//This will set the Content-Type to the appropriate setting for
the file
switch( $file_extension ) {
case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;

case "mpg":
case "flv":
case "mpe": $ctype="video/mpeg"; break;
case "mov": $ctype="video/quicktime"; break;
case "avi": $ctype="video/x-msvideo"; break;

//The following are for extensions that shouldn't be downloaded
(sensitive stuff, like php files)
case "php":
case "htm":
case "html":
case "txt": die("<b>Cannot be used for ". $file_extension ."
files!</b>"); break;

default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}

//Begin writing headers
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");

//Use the switch-generated Content-Type
header("Content-Type: $ctype");

//Force the download
$header="Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.";";
header($header );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".$len);
@readfile($file);
exit;
