RE: [PHP] Problem using readfile

What are the contents of $type? When opening the file directly, the browser will probably use the specified $type information, as opposed to the explorer using the file extension when the user saves it to disk, so the problem may be that $type is not correct... ;) HTH, Fernando Madruga -----Original Message----- From: Matias Pelenur [mailto:matiasp-nospam-@email.com] Sent: quarta-feira, 7 de Março de 2001 17:15 To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Problem using readfile Well, I tried using different code (from a newer message by Mukul Sabharwal): header("Content-length: $size"); header("Content-type: $type"); $fp = fopen($actualfile, 'rb') or print('Could not open file!'); $read = fread($fp, $size) or print('Could not read file'); print($read); and this seems to work better, that is, files are download correctly. However, there is a strange behavior, at least with IE5, which I don't know if it's a bug on IE5 or not... When I click on a file, if I choose "save to disk" it works fine, but if I choose "Open from current location" it doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas on this? --Matias ""Matias Pelenur"" <matiasp-nospam-@email.com> wrote in message news:983od5$oc8$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... > Hi, > I'm trying to use readfile to send a file to the browser.
