note 54108 added to function.passthru

If you are using passthru() to download files (for dynamically generated content or something outside webserver root) using similar code: header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"myfile.zip\""); header("Content-Length: 11111"); passthru("cat myfile.zip",$err); and your download goes fine, but subsequent downloads / link clicks are screwed up, with headers and binary data being all over the website, try putting exit(); after the passthrough. This will exit the script after the download is done and will not interfere with any future actions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54108 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54108&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54108&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54108&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54108&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54108&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54108&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54108&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
