how to invoke a bat file from server to client in php

[ajaymohank]

Hello friends........ . i am new to php. In my project i have to download a java page from a bat file, to the client side by passing values from the program. the problem is that i am getting the java page in my system, but when i try to run the program from another system, the page gets downloaded to my system, not on the system from which i called the program.. ie its running in the server,but not coming to the client side.... how can i solve this problem...
my friends told that i need to write the code for downloading the java page to get iton client, but i dont know how to write the code for downloading....

Does any one knows the solution for my problem....

thanks .

The best way to be sure that user will get a download dialog is to use a simple PHP script. it forces the browser to open download dialog.[php]<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
header("Content-type: xxxxxxx");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=". $file);
readfile($file) ;
?> [/php]
and use this link:

<a href="path_to.php?file=file_name">File Name</a>

The Content-type of Java can be one of mthe following:

application/java
application/java-class
application/x-java-applet
application/x-java-vm

or just plain:
application/octet-stream
