Session Problem with Header

150 New Member
i'm having problem with session_start() to force the browser to download file with this function:

[PHP]
session_start() ;
function force_download( $file){
if ((isset($file)) &&(file_exists( $file))) {
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $file . '"');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-length: ".filesize($fil e));
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file . '"');
readfile("$file ");
} else {
echo "No file selected";
}
}
force_download( "EGYMIDICA 2008.pdf");
[/PHP]

Hi.

What is the problem?
Are you getting any errors?

As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with that.
The only thing I can think of is that the session_start() function is generating a warning, in which case adding a @ sign in front of it may fix the problem.

Hi. I am having a few header problems at the moment with a login page. I don't have my headers at the top of the page where I've learned I need to have them. However, I also know I'm supposed to have the session_start(); at the top of the page as well. So when you have two things that need to be the first which do you put first? And if I put one before the other will that cause problems? Below is a copy of the php from my page. It...

Hi All, Just wondering how you go about changing the value of a session cookie via javascript? I have a PHP page that sets a session cookie when it first loads. I'd like to be able to change the value of that session cookie in response to a button click in a form, without resubmitting the page. For some reason, the following doesn't seem to work:

Is there a way to get a user control to remember its state across pages? I have a standard page layout I use with a header and footer as user controls. Each page uses the same layout by means of copy paste (I hear this will improve in ASP.Net 2 via master pages). When I navigate from one page to the next the header and footer user controls lose their state because they are effectively different instances of the user control. Is there...

*Please* help --- I'm tearing my hair out. I want to use sessionstate in a webservice, accessed from a client, written in script (JScript, InfoPath). I have written my webservice (C# .NET). I have marked the method(s) with EnableSession=true. I have read everything there is to read!

I am trying to pass some info to another page on my site. I set "session_start()" in page 1, assign a session variable to a value, then execute a "header('Location: ....')." But on the target page I don't get any session variable values! BTW, I used a relative location in the Location header, not an absolute URL. The behavior looks like it started another session, but it should not have. Ideas? TIA,
