To download a pdf file

[Pablito]

Hi at all

I want that a visitor of my internet site download a pdf file (12 mega
length) without display it
To make that I tryed many scripts but they do not work
The most simply script that I used is:
<?php
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=newspa per.pdf");
?>
It work!!!
Infact it save the file but not the full file that is 12 M. but only few
Kb.an after isd I open the file it make error.
Then I tryed:
<?php
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=newspa per.pdf");
header("Content-Length: ".filesizenewsp aper.pdf);

?>

Then I tryed:
<?
$File="newspepa r.pdf";
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires : Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($fil e));
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=$file" );
header("Accept-Ranges: ".filesize($fil e));
readfile($file) ;
exit();
?>
but they make Nothing

Please how can I solve the problem?

Thank in advance

Re: To download a pdf file

At last I used this:

<?
$File="newspape r.pdf";
ini_set('zlib.o utput_compressi on','Off');
header("Pragma: public");
header('Expires : ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time()+24*60*60 ) . ' GMT');
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($fil e));
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=$file" );
header("Accept-Ranges: ".filesize($fil e));
readfile($file) ;
exit();
?>

that do not work like others

Is this still a question?

If so, here's what works for me:

header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file) );
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file) );

readfile($file) ;
