Bug description: header() not working correctly after session_start()
Hi all.
[description]
I experience a problem that the header() function does not work correctly
after session_start is called. What I am trying to achive is to download a
file, using header().
[/description]
[code]
The following code works:
<?php
$dlfile = "./temp.zip";
header("Content-Type: application/download-script-by-hex\n");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$dlfile\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
?>
The following code fails:
<?php
session_start();
$dlfile = "./temp.zip";
header("Content-Type: application/download-script-by-hex\n");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$dlfile\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
?>
[/code]
[errors]
I also set the value of session.track_sid to 0, (as advised in Bug
#19991), with no luck.
When I access this page with IE 6.00.2600.0000, running on Windows 2000,
it givies `Internet Explorer is unable to open this Internet site'.
When I use Lynx, running on FreeBSD 4.7, I can download the file, but I
receive a 4 byte ascii file, containing nothing but spaces.
The file I am trying to download is a 387 byte zipped file.
[/errors]
[setup]
The PHP installation runs on FreeBSD 4.7, together with Apache 1.3.27.
[PHP Configure options]
./configure --with-openssl --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-trans-sid
--enable-sockets --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
Please note that I have tried this setup with both PHP 4.2.3 and PHP
4.3.0-Pre1, both with setting session.trans_sid=1 and session.trans_sid=0
set in the config file.
