Re: Downloading movies / forcing download

A successful download across all browsers requires proper headers. I do not have time to fix your code, but here are some suggestions, which for me do successful downloads regardless the browser - header("Content-type: $mime"); /* * * This fixed the download in IE 7 * * EXPLANATION *

 *     Without this direct point to the URI
 *     leads to attempt to download index.php, which leads to nothing.

* */ header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0"); /* * * RFC 2183 * * Works on IE 7 and FF 1.5 * */ header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"; size=$size"); /* * * RFC 2183 * * No idea what it is good for. * */ header('Content-Description: download');
