Output a file

trikhoi

Hi All,

I have problem with outputting file to client download. My script as folow:

  $df_path = $dir."/".$downfile;
$fsize = filesize($df_path);
header("Content-type: application/wsl");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$downfile");
header("Content-Length: ".$fsize);
$fp = readfile($df_path);

$df_path is path of the file i want to output. In IE 5.o it OK, but in IE 6.0 after user get a file, he can't not click any link in my page.
Please give me a advice !

Thank you.

Hallo,

maybe you have to use some other content-type headers.

I dont no what wsl is and maybe ie6 too.

Use headers based on the file extension an maybe fpassthru will work better for you. Its all a case of testing cause tehre are so many different configurations.

Thank Olaf,

But when in use "Content-type: application/octet-stream ". The same problem was issued!

Anyway, thnk for your advice!

Hi Olaf,

The kind oof my file is ".wsl", a binary file.

If there is no specific header you can try it with a "winzipped" file or just use some other file-function. There is not only readfile for output. Look in the file-function list.
