need to download using code.. please help.

I have universal email4.

k lets say i have a form..
it contains

Name
Emaill
Comments etc etc
Submit (form.php)
All this gets sent to my mail..

Now lets say i have to send a file to email entered in above form. lets call da file as "XXX"

But i wont send thru mail instead i want them to download from site thru a code..

So i ll send them a code thru mail, lets call dat code as "123456".

Then da user must enter dat code at another form n click download (myfile.php) (onli 1 text field n download[click] )

So then da file gets downloaded... (file: XXX)

I know.. but i m unable to link my hosting to my dreamweaver.. cause my hosting co doesnt support dreamweaver.. ( 3rd party) so.. so i cant manage site from dr.. so i cant following thins as u said earlier -


1-create a recordset that will filter the code column on the code entered in the text box.

2-In the Download file server behavior, set the file name to use the fileName column of the recordset and trigger to use any form post.

So please is dr any other way..? like thru editting php codes..

install a local testing server for development rather then try to connect Dreamweaver to the remote database.

You create the database locally on the local testing server, then transfer it to the remote server when you deploy the site, and edit the connection details to connect to the remote DB server. see the learning resources page for details on installing a local testing server:

1) see the following page for details on creating a record set, pay close attention to step 5 for details on setting up the filter:

2) in the download file server behavior, the drop list for triggers will have an option for recordset not empty, select that.

next to file name, click the lightning bolt and select the file name column from your recordset.
