Hi to all,
In my working website user has to download a pdf file once he submits some information.
No hyperlinks has to show directly file has to download.
I have the idea using hyperlink, that means once user enter details ,it will redirects to another page.
this is not case.
It has to download there it self.
Please any one has idea, let help me.
I am searching for this since last 4-5 hr's.

Do you mean you want to go to another page after downloading?

OK, so in order to submit the information, the user has to submit a
form. When he/she submits the form, it goes to a PHP script on your
page which validates the inputted data. If the data is valid, it then
sends the file to the user, with the appropriate headers, i.e.
(Off the top of my head - not checked for syntax):
// $filename contains the complete path and filename of the pdf to send
header("Content-type:application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename='".basename($filename)
.."'");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filename)); // Optional but nice
readfile("$filename");
Note: ensure NOTHING (including white space) is sent before these calls.
You can get more examples from the manual at php.net, look at the
header() function.

I'm not sure, based on your broken english, what you're trying to do.
You have a form that the user fills out. Then clicks SUBMIT.
And you want that form to download a PDF file to the user's browser? Or
do you want to display a page that has a link where the user can
download the PDF file? Or something else?
Doing an automatic download is pretty simple once php has control of
interaction, which it will after you click SUBMIT. Send the proper
header, mime-type, then open the PDF file you want to send and output it
to the browser as a binary file.
