Help with HTTP Header and downloading files

[berbbrown]

Hi

I have text files which I want to download from my website.

I feed the id of the text file to a PHP file:

$filesize = filesize($thetextfile);

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"thenewfile.txt\"');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: $filesize');

header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');

readfile($thetextfile);

The problem is that the file once downloaded is ZERO length.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

your quotes are screwing you up

<?php
$thetextfile = '/path/to/file.txt';

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="thenewfile.txt"');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($thetextfile));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
readfile($thetextfile);
exit();
?>
