If i comment the lines //header("Content-Type: application/pdf"); //header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name"); //header("Content-Length: " . filesize($name)); //fpassthru($fp); > then the redirect happens after the submit. > i'm testing / running it on fedora core 6, Apache 2.2.5, php 5.2.5 and firefox 1.5 Any help / pointers is appreciated. > Thanks. > Yashesh Bhatia. Hi, What you are doing is: header("Content-Type: application/pdf"); And after that you try to echo some script. But the browser already thinks that belongs to the PDF and not to a HTML page. What I think should work instead of the script part is just: header('Location: 3.html'); exit; But I'm not sure it works. -- Aschwin Wesselius /'What you would like to be done to you, do that to the other'/
