The main page (sendfile_2.php) looks like this....

<?php
  session_start();
  $showfile = false;

  switch ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'])
  {
    case 'GET':
      $count = 0;
      break;

    case 'POST':
      $count = 1 + $_SESSION['Count'];
      $showfile = (isset($_POST['Action']) && $_POST['Action'] == 'Send');
      break;
  }
?>
<html>
<head><title>Trial Sendfile</title></head>
<body>
<h1><?php print $count ?></h1>
<p>Did you get it?</p>
<form method="post">
<input type="submit"  name="Action" value="Send"/> 
</form>
<?php
  if ($showfile)
  {
    ?><iframe src="sendfile_2a.php" width="0" height="0" border="0"
frameborder="0" /><?php
  }
?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
  $_SESSION['Count'] = $count;
?>


The "download helper" page (referenced in the iframe and
called "sendfile_2a.php here) looks like this...

<?php
 $file="./SixSpot_d.png";

  header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
  header('Expires: 0');
  header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
  header('Pragma: public');
  header('Content-Length: ' . filesize ($file));
  readfile($file);
  exit(0);
?>
