[RESOLVED] Auto Download issue

[baffled_in_york]

Hi

I've created a script to auto-download a pdf file... what I have works in that the right file is prompted for download but it is 0kb in size once saved to my pc (the file on the server is 0.21Mb).

This is the code I'm using, can anyone see what I may be missing or have done wrong?

    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');  

    header('Content-Type: application/pdf');  

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

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

    header('Expires: 0');  

    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');  

    header('Pragma: public');  

    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));  

    readfile($file);

(I have tried application/octet-stream as well with no success).

Thanks for any help.

Where is $file defined? Have you set error_reporting to E_ALL, log_errors to On, and error_log to some sensible value? If so, have you checked the error log to see if any errors are being generated from the above code?

Good call.

I'm getting 'function.readfile : failed to open stream: Connection refused'

I had the file defined as http://www.etc and it should be the actual path as in usr/public/etc

Thanks for the pointer.
