Dowload file with different name from server

[MisterB]

Hi All,

 

I've got a question,

 

I've created a upload page with which I'm able to upload file to my server.

When a file is uploaded it get a random filename on the server preventing that user get the error file allready exists.

 

In a DB I've stored the original name of the file.

 

Is there a way I can change the name of the download file for teh user

eg.

 

I upload a file called "this is an example.doc" it will be stored at the server as "jbytbxtwra436qwvyuxas564eq7wvf7q9xwe .doc"

Now when the user downloads the file I want it to be called "this is an example.doc" again..

 

is this posible??

 

Tnx!

 

Mrb
