Re: Link to download a text fileWhat exactly you’re looking for? Do you want to create a text file at run time and open it on the browser window?----------------------------------------------------------- |

Re: Link to download a text fileCode <?php
function download_text($text,$filename)
{
header("Content-type: application/text");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
echo $text;
}
$msg="Some text".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."another text";
$filename="download.txt";
download_text($msg,$filename);
?>Save this code at a separate php file say "download.php". Now just provide a link to open that file.
