loading a pdf into a php page

[edapt]

I'm having problems with loading a pdf into a php page.

This is the code..

session_start();

if(! isset($_POST['uid']))) {
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf");
readfile('files/wp.pdf');
}

when i use the session start, it starts to download the pdf but i get "error trying to open the file, it doesn't exits"...but when i take out the if statement and the session_start() it finds it no problem....

any help please???

if(!isset($_POST['uid'])) {
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf");
readfile('files/wp.pdf');
} 

try that, looks like there was to many ) in the if line

sorry i copied it wrong..i have the syntax right...it just gives me the error when i try to open the pdf...

if i remove the session_start and the if statement, it all works..

if(!isset($_POST['uid'])) {
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf");
readfile('files/wp.pdf');
}

Try to either change the "session.cache_limiter" value in php.ini from 'nocache' to 'private_no_expire' or use session_cache_limiter('private_no_expire'); before you start the session.
It worked for me!
