This script is useful when we want to download an image file (JPG, PNG, GIF) instead of preview it into our browser. A download dialog will appear and the image will not be displayed.
< ?php // Define the image type. We can remove this but not recommended header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); // Define the name of image after downloaded header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.jpg"'); // Read the original image file readfile('file.jpg'); ?>
Let’s give it a try. Save the script as download.php and put file file.jpg in the same directory/folder as download.php. Then open download.php using our web browser.
We should now see download dialog instead of file.jpg opened in the browser.
