Download empty txt :(((((((((((

[lovatos]

HI All

My problem is this. I am querying a database and then writing the results to txt file. That works and is fine. But i would like to be able to allow the user to download the file to their local machine.

To forcing the download I have put this headers (many versions of "application")

header("Content-Type: application/RFC822");
or
header( "Content-type: application/x-gzip" );
or
header("Content-Type: application/txt");
or
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");

AND

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=fede2.txt");
or
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=fede2.txt");

This is fine in that it brings up the download box but when i open the file locally it's E M P T Y !!! Sgrunt!!!!

I have tried with 3 SO e 4 browser!!!!

Many thanks
Fede Rico 🙁((((((((((((((((

My code is below:

<?
if (file_exists("fede2.txt"))
{
unlink("fede2.txt"); // CANCELLO IL FILE SE ESISTE
}
touch("fede2.txt"); // LO RICREO
$fp = fopen("fede2.txt", 'w');

include ('../../configu.php');

$link = mysql_pconnect($host,$user,$pass);
 if (! $link)
     die ( "Impossibile connettersi al db $db");
     mysql_select_db($db)
     or die ("Impossibile selezionare il db $db" .mysql_error ());

      $os = mysql_query("Select * from merca where (validate='1') order by data,merca_id DESC");
      while ($osp = mysql_fetch_array($os))
            {
            $content .= "<B>";
            $parola ="";   // LIBERO RISULTATO              
            if ( $osp[nero] == "0")
                               {
                               // NON E' NERETTO SOLO LE PRIME 3 PAROLE

                               $tag = explode(" ", $osp[annuncio]);

                                       // RICOMPONGO                                       
                                      $n="0";
                                      foreach ( $tag as $key => $val )
                                        {
