Remember to use the @ before the readfile function: <?php @readfile("myfile.txt"); ?> instead of <?php readfile("myfile.txt"); ?> cos if you ommit the @, and you are forcing a download (with the Header "Content-Disposition: attachment"), if you get an error, the user will download the error message. I think it is better to download an empty file than to download an error message instead of the content I wanted. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42772 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42772&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42772&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
