.php download

Hi there,

is there a way to allow .php files (from my own server) to get downloaded (Bypassing the parsing by the Webserver)

Possibly but as long as you go through port 80 and you have a web server running its going to get parsed. You could telnet or SSH and get ahold of it but now your talking illegal things.

No, you misunderstood my question.
I wanted to know:

if it is possible to make one of my own .php files downloadable (via a seperate .php script pushing the right buttons) and leaving the .php -appendix untouched.
This is for an online administration tool.

Ohh haha Yeah it is I`m sure of it let me write the code real fast and test it. This could take a little while because I`m working on my forum.. If anyone else has the code before me post it.

Write this code below, then your code (yourfile.php) will be downloaded.

<?php
$fp = fopen("yourfile.php", "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize("yourfile.php"));
Header ('Content-type: application/octetstream');
Header ('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=yourfile.php');
?>

Cool,
thanx a lot

i really hate to do this.. please don't hate me.. but.. TEST

With one minor change it did work.

insert this line of code (after the 2 Header-functions):
echo $content;
