If it helps, here is some code that I dug up from an old project:
<?php
$filepath = "/var/www/test.doc";
$filename = basename($filepath);
$filesize = filesize($filepath);
if ( file_exists($filepath) )
{
header("Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate");
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=" . $filename);
header("Content-length: " . $filesize);
$fh = fopen($filepath, "rb") or exit("Could not open file.");
while (!feof($fh))
{
print(fgets($fh,4096));
}
fclose($fh);
} else {
echo "The file does not exist.";
}
?>
I would also verify that the web server has permissions to the files
that php is trying to open. Internet Explorer 8 seems to have a
problem with the filename parameter in the Content-disposition header
being enclosed in quotes. It would just dump the binary data in the
page when I was testing this.
