I thought the following might save someone a lot of time. The example fdf snippet above, namely:
<?php
$outfdf = fdf_create();
fdf_set_value($outfdf, "volume", $volume, 0);
fdf_set_file($outfdf, "http:/testfdf/resultlabel.pdf");
fdf_save($outfdf, "outtest.fdf");
fdf_close($outfdf);
Header("Content-type: application/vnd.fdf");
$fp = fopen("outtest.fdf", "r");
fpassthru($fp);
unlink("outtest.fdf");
?>
will not work (or there's at least a big possibility it won't) in IE (version 6 sure and I
suspect lower versions as well) if you have session.auto_start on. Apparently, setting a cookie
before feeding the fdf to the browser somehow messes it up. It works fine in Netscape though. I
spent days on Google before I found a post somewhere about someone else having the same problem.
The solution? Well, I created a separate directory in the web tree and turned session.auto_start off
just for that directory like this:
<Location /new_directory>
php_admin_flag session.auto_start 0
</Location>
Hope this was useful to somebody.
