Hi I have uploaded a pdf file into my db and am trying to display it
again here is the code i have used (at the moment it is just displaying
the binary file's code as text in a html page:
<?php session_start() ;
include("connec tion.php");
$query = "SELECT resource, resource_name FROM tblresources WHERE id =
'3' ";
$result = mysql_query($qu ery) or die(mysql_error () );
$row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result);
$content = $row['resource'];
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
echo $content;
?>

pdf file?
Please help! 5 1588

Not for images, no. Allthough some browsers (I know IE does) display pdf's,
it's not HTML, it's officially not for a browser to handle. Browsers can
display HTML and other "simple" files (for instance XML, TXT, all files
easily made in notepad and the like), and (most) images.
Other files have to be first downloaded and then displayed with other
programs. IE uses an external pdf-reader (normally acrobat), but pretends it
is capable of displaying pdf's by running the program "inline" (for lack of
a better word, my english is limited). Hence the confusion.
That's putting it simple. I'm sure there are people on this ng that DO know
what they are talking about who can correct me, but this explanation has
sufficed for me so far :-)

add: header('Conten t-Disposition: attachment; filename="somen ame.pdf"');
should work, BTW directy from http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
Grtz,
And I've found that you need to use:
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="somen ame.pdf"');
.... to display it in the browser
To create a download, save as dialog use:
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="somen ame.pdf"');

I am trying to solve a problem on a production server, that unfortunately is

Anyway the problem is this. There is a directory where a number of pdfs are

Any other suggestions?

My aspx page code reads some custom values from the HTTP headers and then

Unforunately, my code causes IE to pop up an Open / Save dialog instead of
invoking the Adobe plugin and displaying the pdf inside of I.E. Here is my

All records are displayed on the form using the Jet, but only one record appears using MySQL. Perhaps it just needs some tweaking to work with MySQL. Any advice would be great. Thanks

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
