note 105680 added to function.readfile

It seems an IF Statement right before preparing a readfile() corrupts the file being download. There are probably similar actions that would result in this same problem but I found this out while using an IF statement (unrelated to the download process) before writing headers for a readfile(). I recommend including the ob_clean() function after the headers i.e. as shown in Example 1. Many snippet codes for readfile() functions out there tend to skip ob_clean(); so double-check it's there before/after pasting that code. :) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 174.0.55.57 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105680 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105680/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105680/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105680/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105680/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105680/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105680/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105680 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105680 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
