Re: Problems with headers

Thanks Rasmus :) that is an incredibly cool tip: EOB Surprised I did not see you at the Digital Rights [hollywood digital] conference in LA early this week. Upside: Free sushi and an ocean view. Downside: Lots of 'agency' types and sales folk.... when I access a straight movie file with no php, fonovisa.mov, everything looks good when I curl it HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 16:52:45 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/4.4.0 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510 Last-Modified: Tue, 20 Sep 2005 17:58:39 GMT ETag: "1b28dcc-e3-43304dcf" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 227 Content-Type: video/quicktime * Connection #0 left intact * Closing connection #0 <?xml version="1.0"?> <?quicktime type="application/x-qtskin"?> <skin> <movie src="../../fonovisa.mov"/> <contentregion src="../images/mask.gif"/> <dragregion src="../images/drag.gif"/> </skin> -------- If I use PHP to generate the same output, I get the error: can not modify the headers. Could the file extension, .php, somehow be preventing the php script from outputting properly ? <?php $xml = <<<EOB <?xml version="1.0"?> <?quicktime type="application/x-qtskin" ?> <skin> <movie src="../../fonovisa.mov"/> <contentregion src="../images/mask.gif"/> <dragregion src="../images/drag.gif"/> </skin> EOB; header("Accept-Ranges: bytes"); header ("Content-Length: ".strlen($xml)); header('Content-Type: video/quicktime'); echo $xml; ?> The above php version gives me the below when I curl it * About to connect() to www.siren.cc:80 * Connected to www.siren.cc (64.182.20.154) port 80

Wow, that is nasty. There is probably a syntax error in there. Use a heredoc in cases like this. Something like this: $xml = <<< EOB <?xml version="1.0"?> <?quicktime type=... ... EOB; Much less likely to make mistakes this way since you don't need to escape anything (except $) and you can still use variables in the block of text. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
