Hi,
I have a script below, what I want todo and have NO Idea howto do it is.
I have films named by number (ie: 123.avi) is it possibly to rename the file
with the " {$row['Title']} " when I click download, so the file is downloaded by file name rather than number...

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","root");if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db("film_info", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `films` WHERE TO_DAYS(TIMESTAMP) = TO_DAYS(NOW() - INTERVAL 1 DAY) ORDER BY `Title`");
echo "<center>";
echo "</br>";
echo "<h1><b><font color=\"DodgerBlue\">Films Added 1 Day Ago</font></b></h1>\n";
echo "<hr>";
echo "Total Files: ";
echo mysql_num_rows($result);
echo "<center>";

echo "<body bgcolor=\"black\" text=\"DodgerBlue\" link=\"fuchsia\" vlink=\"purple\" alink=\"fuchsia\">\n";
echo "

<table border='0'>
</center>" ;

$i = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$i++;

echo "<center><h1><b><font color=\"DodgerBlue\">{$row['Title']}</font></b></h1></center>\n";
echo "<table border=\"0\" width=\"90%\" height=\"*\">\n";
echo " <tr>\n";
echo " <td width=\"163\" height=\"153\" rowspan=\"2\">\n";
echo " <p align=\"left\"><img src=\"./covers/{$row['Title']}.jpg\" width=\"108\" height=\"166\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"40\"></p>\n";
echo " </td>\n";
echo " <td width=\"100%\" height=\"30\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" style=\"margin-right:0; margin-left:0;\">\n";
echo "<b><font color=DodgerBlue>Year: </font><font color=black>............ </font>";
echo "<font color=fuchsia>{$row['Year']}</font></b>";
echo "</br>";
echo "<b><font color=DodgerBlue>Genre:</font><font color=black> ......... </font></b><font color=fuchsia>{$row['Extras']}</font>";
echo "</br>";
echo "<b><font color=DodgerBlue>Imdb:</font><font color=black> ........... </font></b><a href='{$row['IMDB']}' onclick='imdb(this.href);return false'>Visit IMDB</a>";
echo "</br>";
echo "<b><font color=DodgerBlue>View:</font><font color=black> ........... </font></b><a href='./filesarehere/{$row['View']}' onclick='play(this.href);return false'>View Film</a>";
echo "</br>";
echo "<b><font color=DodgerBlue>Download:</font><font color=black> ... </font></b><a href=./filesarehere/{$row['Download']}>Click Here</a>";
echo "</br>";
echo "</br>";
echo "<b><font color=DodgerBlue>Plot:</br> </font></b><font color=fuchsia>{$row['Info']}</font></b>";
echo " </td> </tr>\n";
echo "</table>";
echo "</br>";
echo "<hr>";
}
?>

The only thing I can think to do is use the copy() function to copy the file to the name you want and then link to that new file.

There's probably a better way...

Sure: rename() (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php)

Just rename it to what you want, then name it back. Of course, then you run into problems where multiple users want to download the file at the same time...so that doesn't work. You could just create copies of the file, but that would take forever.

There's also this suggestion (http://www.webmasterworld.com/php/3333658.htm).

Yeah I was thinking "why not just create a symbolic link? I wonder if PHP has a function for that..."

And TA-DA, there is the function symlink() :D
