how to download a file without display download request
Usually when we try to download something from a server we get a confirmation request whether you want to save the file or open it.
To avoid this request you can use the below code and then user can directly download that file without any message.
First give a link or a button for user to download and when they click redirect them to a file which will have the code below.
suppose you want user to download a pdf file then first make a link like this:
<a href=”javascript:void();” onClick=”location.href=’doc/document_download.php’”>download pdf</a>

How to use Cookies in PHP
Nov 2, 2009 Php
In the starting Cookies were not in common use but this is very common to use Cookies now a days.
Cookies allow the us to store information about the site visitor on their computer to be accessed again the next time they visit. One common use of cookies is to store your username and password on your computer so you don’t need to login again each time you visit a website. Cookies can also store other things such as your name, last visit, shopping cart contents, etc.
Cookies are just like sessions.The main difference between a cookie and a session is that a cookie is stored on your computer, and a session is not. Although cookies have been around for many years but sessions can be stored only for a perticular user session and when user leave a site or close the browser sessions gets destroy. Cookies and sessions can be removed by the user at any time, so don’t use them to store anything too important.
