[Resolved] Header Not Forcing Download

[srarcade]

I want to simply bring up a save as dialog box here. What is currently happening is the file is being downloaded to the browser without asking first, then when it is done it asks if I would like to save or not.

Here is my code:

$file_id =$_GET ['file_id'];
    $sql = "SELECT str_file_name, int_file_size, str_file_type FROM tbl_file WHERE int_file_id='".$_GET['fileID']."'";
    $result=mysql_query($sql) or die("Could not pull from tbl_file: ".mysql_error());
  	$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
  	$filename = $row['str_file_name'];
  	$size = $row['int_file_size'];
  	$type = $row['str_file_type'];

// get the file data
$query = "SELECT bin_data FROM tbl_data WHERE int_file_id = '".$_GET['fileID']."' ORDER BY int_data_id";
$result = mysql_query($query);

// decode the fragments and recombine the file
$data = "";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $data .= base64_decode($row ["bin_data"]); 
}

// output the file
header('Pragma: public');	   
header ("Content-type: $type");
    header ("Content-length: $size");

header ("Content-Disposition: outline; filename=".$filename);
    header ("Content-Description: PHP Generated Data");

echo $data;

I've been stumped on this for hours, any help is appreciated.

replace this:

header("Content-Disposition: outline; filename=".$filename);

with this:

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename);

Yes, i have tried using attachment too. I get the same result. I also tried disabling caching, changing cach-control, expiring the page, change the transfer encoding to binary and pragma no cache. It seems the line to give me the problem is 'echo $file'. Could this be a php configuration problem? It seems to push the echo before processing the rest of the page.

edit -

I have come to the conclusion that storage of large blob files is bad idea because the script needs to rebuild them anyway and thats why they take so long to save.
