Re: send a file or stream

I can download it, but when I see the file I downloaded has 0 bytes, and I have readfile("stations.zip"); On 8/30/06, Peter Lauri <lists@dwsasia.com> wrote:

But can you download it correctly? Is it just the download box that shows 0 bytes? Or is it so that you actually is doing what you do below readfile() without any argument? So that you are actually downloading something empty? :) /Peter -----Original Message----- From: Rafael Mora [mailto:moraloco@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 8:00 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] send a file or stream Hi!! Well it works now, but with another issue, when I download it, it says that it size is 0 bytes!! i fwrite the file in a while, is it correct? header()... while() { fwrite($da, "$somevar1:$somevar2"); } fclose($da); readfile(); thanks On 8/30/06, Peter Lauri <lists@dwsasia.com> wrote: Try this: header("Pragma: public"); header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="stations.gzip"'); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize(stations.gzip)); readfile("stations.gzip"); /Peter PS!

You need to make sure that you are not outputting ANYTHING before you

do

this. I might guess that you have a whitespace in the top of the

script. As

soon as you output, the server can not send any more header

information, and

the browser will think it is just text instead of treating it as an octet-stream. /Peter _____ From: Rafael Mora [mailto:moraloco@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 10:25 AM To: Peter Lauri Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] send a file or stream I test it and gave me this: xœ ÉÈ,V¢D…'Ôâ=(r)(??/§C0/¿D!1O!3· ¿¨$1¯D¡¸¤(3/] LÖ‑ so the user should read that?? this is my code: <?php $params = array('level' => 6, 'window' => 15, 'memory' => 9); $texto_original = "This is a test.\nThis is only a test.\nThis is not
