Hey great knowledgeable ones!
I am looking for the code and/or script to create download links. I am looking to put links to download my resume in PDF or Word format. What do I need to do for this?
Thanks!!

there are many different options depending on what scripting language you want to use.

try www.hotscripts.com for some example scripts

php: http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/22159.html
perl: http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/21981.html

alternately you could just provide a link to a zipped version of the word doc, but you wouldn't see who downloaded it

Thanks! I'd like to use PHP. I am looking for a script that once you click on the link, it automatically downloads the PDF or Word doc. It looks like that PHP link was for a dl counter...I actually looked at that site before I posted, but wasn't sure exactly what I needed to look for.

the advantage of using a php script is to see who is downloading.
What you want is a script which just sends a header which redirects to the file and optionally logs the interaction.

may be what you want...
