note 82641 added to function.readfile

Well I have a solution for anyone who may have had the same problem as I did. Basically the problem was that when trying to use external urls in readfile, or in general trying to use the http:// prefix, only a file placeholder would download in Internet Explorer 7 and Safari (and possibly other browsers with the exception of Firefox). So basically this is the how I solved the problem. If you are using the code for the Content-Length: header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filepath)); Then this is the issue. I don't know if it is with only certain servers, but in my case Internet Explorer couldn't get a filesize so it decided to not download any of the file. The solution was to simply remove this line and give it no filesize and then the browsers would download the whole file. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 69.216.99.169 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82641 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82641/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82641/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82641/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82641/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82641/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82641/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82641 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82641 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
