For the second case, *and* if members is literally the name of the
directory, serve the file from view.php like so:
<?php
$file = $_SERVER'[PATH_INFO']
// in some cases it's ORIG_PATH_INFO - use phpinfo to take a look
// set the correct path here
$file = '/2006/members/news/' . $file;
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
// to download
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
// to open in browser
// header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);
?>
