PHP readonly

Hi everyone.

Can you tell me how can i restrict the uploaded file to make it read only? I mean, for example, I uploaded a .pdf file on the server and i want that when the user access the file, it can open but they CANNOT save it in their local machine. Is that possible?

Please help me.

Thanks

Krugger,

Thanks for the reply.

I want not only with the .pdf file. I have different file on my server. .xls, .doc, .ppt etc. I just want that, if the user access the file, they can open it for the review purposes by i don't want them to save the file on their local machine.

this is my sample codes:
<?php

echo "<a href='folder/sample.doc'>"."Sample 1"."</a>";
?>

now i want that when the user access the "sample.doc", they can view it but they are not able to save it.
