Content-type: Problem with PHP4

Anon

Hi,

it is said in the php.ini:
; As of 4.0b4, PHP always outputs a character encoding by default in
; the Content-type: header. To disable sending of the charset, simply
; set it to be empty.
; PHP's built-in default is text/html
default_mimetype = "text/html"

And this is my problem. Every page I build starts with "Content-type: text/html".
If I change it to
default_mimetype = ""
each page begins with "Content-type:"

Is there a way to cancel the whole content-type thing ?

thanx,

Andreas

You can throw your own content type, but I'm not sure you can just completely get rid of it or not.

header("content-type: image/png");

will change the content type to another type.

Hope that helps, even if it isn't an exact answer to your question.

Hi,

It is said :
"To disable sending of the charset"
and not
"To disable sending of the content-type"

To disable sending of content-type you must use the CGI version and run:
php -q

I don't know if it's possible with module version of PHP.

There is not much interest not sending content-type when the script is called from a browser.

Hope this helps

I don't know why, but I deleted my first php4 installation and reinstalled it, and with the same configuration as before it worked !?! mysterious.
