Try the following:

[PHP]<?php

$file = 'http://www.martinkorner.host.sk/Swim.exe'; //Windows
$file = '/mnt/storage/users/m/a/r/martinkorner/Swim.exe'; //or Linux
$new_filename = '"Swim To The Sea.exe"';

{
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
header("Status: 200 OK");
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$new_filename);
readfile($file);
exit();
}
?> [/PHP]

$file = 'http://www.martinkorner.host.sk/Swim.exe'; //Windows
You understand that the line below completely overwrites the line above right?
$file = '/mnt/storage/users/m/a/r/martinkorner/Swim.exe'; //or Linux

So If I use the windows one, will linux users still be able to access the download?

The reference was to the operating system on the server, not the client-side operating system. Use the linux one. It is the one that has been being used anyway.

yes they will, but realisticly speaking it will do them no good, exe files are generally compiled for windows, not linux users (unless they use wine).
You would have to take that program and recompile it for a linux users (this is way more technical, and not within the scope of this forum). But yes the linux users will be able to download it.

Oh right, thanks

Martin

Right.. thanks

I removed the space before the "<?php" tag and now it works properly in both browsers! (Thanks DanceInstructor for the pm).

At the moment that just downloads over the previous page, how would I get it to link to a html page, so for example, the user clicks a link which takes them to a page saying: "You're download should have started, if not please click here." and the download dialogue box appears.

Thanks
Martin

You don't link to a page, you just make your existing download page say that.
