Force Download

[Halting]

Hi,

How can I force a download for the following file extensions:
gif, jpg, jpeg, png, psd, bmp, tiff, dib, tif, jpe, jfif, swf and txt.

I'm having trouble finding a code that will support all of them.

Thanks in advance,
Oli

What do you mean? Force a download for those exntesions :s

If you try and force an image download, it will just simply open in the browser right?

That's what I thought. Because if you load an exe it will force it's download, but if you load an image it will show the image. There must be some way of forcing the download of forcing "Save Image As...".

I don't think so, because I think the Save Image As... feature is implimated by the browser rather than any script being able to access that function as all browsers are coded differently.

lol mostly impossible anymore to force downloads cause it will always come up with open with:
or save to: window in firefox and it'll always come up to were you want to save it too.

That's what he means, he wants that.

[Yeah]

Ah i do not actually think this is possible all i can suggest is saving it as a zip

My website is an image, text and flash host (www.urload.com). If I created a zip for every file that's been uploaded it would eat up my bandwith a lot more.

[Yeah]

Hm then i don't think its possible, try www.google.com
