The existing web page https://st23.startlogic.com/~libertys/download.php has
downloads at the bottom of the page. When a user clicks on a link the
browser goes into the download mode and the user downloads the file. What I
am trying to do is run a MySQL query in PHP (same page because there is a
header call for the form data) to store the version string ("cbverxxx.exe")
and present date of download. The way the code exists to do this (download
the file) is as shown in my last post noted above.
On a Windows directory reference 'Download Files', spaces are allowed and it
has worked so far in all of the Windows code I have written.
