I need to force images that have been uploaded to a photo gallery to download once the "Download Photo" link has clicked.
Anyone have any suggestions how to get the photos to download... instead of loading in the browser window? I'm open to using a form if there's a solution.

<?php foreach ($galleryRecord['gallery'] as $upload): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>">Download Photo<?php echo $upload['info1'] ?></a>
<?php endforeach ?>Re: [zick] Force uploaded image to download when link is clicked.

Hey zick,
If you want to force a download you'll need to use an intermediate script that sends the download headers to the browser. You can pass the image num as a parameter to the script so it knows what file to send.
Here is a good php function to use and some examples:

Your Download link might look like:
Hope that helps,
