i use this code to auto download zip file from server

Code: Select all

 
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header("Content-Type: application/zip");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($archiveName).";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($archiveName)

That should delete it from the server if the web server has write permissions to the file.
