Page Redirection Problem After performing a File Download? Suppose we have a page (php) which lists items with check boxes and drop down list for choosing the action (like download , delete) to be performed on the items selected. When one selects the action download we redirect the page to a php whose response content-type is "application/zip". This works fine and displays download file dialog. The problem is that after downloading the file, the user is still in the download page. What we would want to do is after the user downloads the file.. we would like to redirect him automatically to another page (Thank You Page, etc.) or back to the page listing the items. I have not found solution which exactly solve this problem, however we can find some alternative solutions here .
