Hi guys,
Is there any way how to delete a file after download headers have been
sent? This code does not work for some reason.
header('Content-type: application/xml');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-length: '.filesize($f)) ;
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.bas ename($f).'"');
if($fp = fopen($f, "rb"))
{
while ($buffer = fread($fp, filesize($f))) print $buffer;
fclose($fp);
}
unlink($f);

You may need to CHMOD the file (and possibly the containing folder) to
be writable by the script.

Can you unlink the file anyway?
I seriously doubt the headers are influencing this...

Thanks guys. Nope, it has nothing to do with permissions. I am able to
unlink the file with no problem. After sending download headers it
looks like PHP can execute only the next line (reading and sending out
the file) but nothing else. I was just wondering if there is some
workaround leading to successful deletion of a file after headers of
this type have been sent. Thanks.

As Erwin indicated - headers should have nothing to do with this. You
should be able to unlink the file with no trouble.

Depending of the size of your file, this can make your script run our of
memory and crash, so you after that won't be able to remove the file... or
print "hello word". Try readfile() or, simply don't use the full file size
as buffer size. Actually, I can't see the point of a while loop that's
supposed to be run once.

Hi.
I have problems when I try to redirect everything that is sent to cout
to a file.
I have one piece of code that works and one that does not work.
The only difference is which headers I use.
What the code does:

Hi,
I have a problem that I have been working with for a while.
I need to be able from server side (asp.net) to detect that the file i'm
streaming down to the client is saved completely/succsessfully on the

downloaded date for instance)
However,
All examples i have tried, and all examples I have found that other people

I have a file, "classes.inc.php", a library of PHP version 4+ classes.
This library file, the moment it is included, causes headers to be
generated into the HTTP headers! I have no explanation as to how it
does that, it just does that! I have tried everything I can think of,
