I may be wrong about this as I have little experience dealing with binary
files. But I do not blieve that Content-Type: application/x acts like a
universial content type. It seems to me that you're going to have to build
in a conditional that sets the appropriate Content-Type: based on the file
being displayed. So the file is a GIF then the header should read
Content-Type: image/gif

Subject: [PHP] show a file
Hello,
I have to show a file pdf in a browser but its name in the filesystem is
something like "name_file.file" and the file is word, pdf, gif, etc
I tried to do:
<?
$url = 'http://domain.org/path/to/file/';
$file = "name_file.file";
header('Content-Type: application/x');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $file ) ;
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
$size = filesize($url . $file);
header('Content-length: ' . $size ) ;
@readfile($url . $file);
?>
It doesn't work. But I read that it should work.
How could do that?
Thanks in advance
