How do I create a link to a doc file.
is the normal "include(file :///c:\aa.doc)" works.
is there any way to do this.

But the thing is I'm in a middle stage.
My first page has the link.
when it clicked I want to get the click event.
So I redirect it into another page and update database.
after updating the database how I redirect it to open the doc file.
Many thanks
Geeshan.

well, there's
header('Location: ...') redirection and <meta http-equiv="..."> tag redirection. Both of which should be output, incase the user's agent doesn't support header redirection.

Thanks
I checked the
http://php.net/function.header .
It gave me a lot.
But the (Location : ...) concern with the "http:// ". isnt it.
Does it redirect to a word file if we use it like this?
header('Location : c:\aa.doc');

the document should be inside of your webservers document root
then
Code: Select all
header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/your/file.doc");
