Hi all,

i have a script that is suppose to allow download i however get an alert from Firefox Mozilla." Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol © isn't associated with any program" . Upon further investigation, i got to know that "C:/upload_test/$code/$file" is not a registered protocol and that i need to give a relative path to "C:/upload_test/$code/$file".

My code is as follows:

echo "<center><a href='C:/Upload_test/$code/$file' target='_blank'>Download Attached File</a></center>";

How do i go about the relative path?

Regards

I've forgot what Windows uses, I have no PC to test right now - I think it is one of these two:

echo "<center><a href='file:///C:/Upload_test/$code/$file' target='_blank'>Download Attached File</a></center>";  
echo "<center><a href='C:\\Upload_test\\$code\\$file' target='_blank'>Download Attached File</a></center>";

when i used your solution, the alert did not come up but the file could not be downloaded.

Is there a reason why you are downloading a file that is already on your hard drive?

Yes, i want to demonstrate that the file can be opened/downloaded through the browser.
Actually this is a file that has been attached by userA and userB would like to download and view its content.
That is the logic

It was a mix between the two, I am on a Windows computer now. This works fine:
