header() problem

[sfullman]

Hi there,

I'm delivering files through a web link via download. You've probably seen this code before and it works great:

//get the file string up here first
header ("Accept-Ranges: bytes");

header ("Connection: close");

header ("Content-type: $fileType");

header ("Content-Length: ". $fileSize);

header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$FileName\"");

echo $fileData;

the PROBLEM is that I need to run this page in session, and it appears that calling session_start() places a header first that conflicts with the headers above. The file doesn't download properly.

Any suggestions?
