I am attempting to download files (usually images) for viewing with
either the user's browser or a program associated with the file type.
Unfortunately, this requires that it works in MSIE (works ok with
Mozilla and Opera) but when I attempt to use MSIE it offers a choice
of either opening it or saving.
Opening the message, causes the image viewing program to state that
the file is not a valid jpeg (I'm using jpegs for testing presently).
And when I select "Save", nothing is downloaded.
I'm already losing my hair, so please save the hair!
The afflected code:
header("Content-type: " .
$row['mime_type']);
header("Content-length: " . $row['size']);
header("Content-Disposition:
attachment;file name=" . $row['filename']);
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires : 0");
$fa = fopen("/tmp/attach/" . $row['id'],"rb");
$buffer = fread ($fa, $row['size']);
echo $buffer;
I've also tried:
$fa = fopen("/tmp/attach/" . $row['id'],"rb");
echo fread ($fa, $row['size']);
fpassthru($fa)
or die("Unable to read file!");
Thanx
