I'm just learning PHP, and I'm having a problem using fpassthru(). I
want to download a file using the following code segment I found,
which I put into my testing file called portal.php:
$fileString = './' . $params[1];
// translate file name properly for Internet Explorer.
if ( strstr( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGEN T'], "MSIE" )) {
$params[1] = preg_replace( '/\./', '%2e', $params[1],
substr_count($p arams[1], '.') - 1 );
}
header( "Cache-Control: " ); // leave blank for IE
header( "Pragma: " ); // leave blank for IE
header( "Content-type: application/octet-stream" );
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" .
$params[1] . "\"" );
header( "Content-length:" . (string)(filesi ze( $fileString )));
sleep(1);
$fdl = @fopen( $fileString, 'rb' );
fpassthru( $fdl );
However, when I run it, I get the following:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent
by (output started at /export/home/.../portal.php:26) in
/export/home/.../portal.php on line 178

The contents of the file I am trying to download (an html file) is
then displayed, interpreted as if it were appended to the end of
portal.php. Does anyone know what is causing this, and how I can fix
it? Thanks in advance to all who respond.

these are ussually caused when you have already output data to the browser,
if any output has been sent (even a single space) then headers can not be
sent

Thanks for your response. Now, am I using the wrong technique to download
a file from a host server? Is there a better way, or am I just using the
correct technique incorrectly? I would appreciate some guidance, since
PHP in general is still new to me.

You need to use output buffering. Check the manual at http://www.php.net/ob_start for somewhere to start.

Andy,
Thanks for the link! The last user comment on that page pointed
me to "http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Output-Buffering-With-PHP/",
which told me exactly how to do what I need.

Hello,
I'm using a script to handle downloads of files, it seems to work but
I'm getting random server errors. I guess it has something to do with
the filesize. The script will be needed to download files of 6 to 8 MB
but I've only tested with files from 0.5 to 2.5 MB.
I get the following error:
The server closed the connection while reading the response. Contact
your system administrator. (SERVER_RESPONSE_CLOSE)

I have a script, which I've called test-loadpic.php and some pages
reference it by means of
<img src="test-loadpic.php?sourcepic=$picNum">
where $picNum stores a number. This part itself works fine.
test-loadpic.php uses the "sourcepic" GET variable to reference a file
on disk, get it's file/MIME type, transmit the headers and then the raw
image. The important code is below:

Hi,
I have a page where form data is passed to a php page (just script) to
process the input. This page calls a function to output a file:
function sendFileViaHeader($path, $name) {
$fp = fopen($path . $name, 'r');
header("Cache-Control: ");// leave blank to avoid IE errors
header("Pragma: ");// leave blank to avoid IE errors

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