I presented the original post in abreviated form. What is working now is
the html:
<td width="140"><a href="./Download
Files/cbver169.zip">cbver169.zip</a></td> // for downloading the file
I want to modify that line to connect to the php 'if(isset(_GET['ver']) {
....}' on the same page (upper block). 'ver' is whatever is the string, in
this case (cbver169.zip).
