note 107581 added to function.header

To use header() with 'content-type', why don't you use mime_content_type() function rather than checking the type on the basis of extension? Example code: $file="test.docx"; header("Pragma: public"); header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$file); header("Content-type: ".mime_content_type($file)); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); ob_clean(); flush(); readfile($file); Use $file to map to whichever type of file. Note: the mime types should already be defined in apache settings ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 122.161.63.155 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107581 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107581/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107581/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107581/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107581/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107581/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107581/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107581 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107581 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
