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.
