Problem downloading binary data

[Barry]

Hi all

I have this script(download.php) which downloads binary data from a
mysql database.

<?

/* SNIP */

$document=document::singleton();
$doc=$document->get_document($id);

if (is_object($doc)){
die;
}

header("Content-type: $doc[type]");
header("Content-length: $doc[size]");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$doc[name]");

echo($doc['content']);

exit;

?>

This is called from another page in the
<a href="download.php?id=4">CLick here to download</a>
fashion.

The problem I am experiencing is that the download stop on 64k and then
the files are obviously corrupted.

I have checked that I do have the correct size in the db and I am giving
the correct size in the Content-length header.

Thanks
Barry

So if $doc is an object you die?

Is that what you want?
I would expect:
if (is_object($doc)){
echo "\doc is not an object!";
exit;
}

header("Content-type: $doc[type]");

Now I make the same mistake:
Should be of course:
if (!is_object($doc)){
echo "\doc is not an object!";
exit;
} echo "\doc is not an object!";
exit;
}

Yes I want it to die.
The function returns an error object if it fails.
This means that an error has occured and then I just die.

If the function returns an array, its found the data.

This all works for files less than 64k.
Its only with larger files that the download stops at 64k.
This is weird bahavior, I think it might be some config on the server.

Hmm, ok.

Strange.
Are you sure your document-singleton is actually delivering the right stuff?
I mean: the problem could arise earlier than at the moment of delivery.
And 64K sounds very suspect.

I would check that part first, just spit out :

echo htmlentities($doc['content']);

Well, that is all I can think of.

Good luck.

yes, I get the correct data.
when I dump the array all is there.

also, docs and images below 64k work fine.

strange one this.

I have seen cutoff problems in other posts in trying to use fread() with
chunks larger than about 8K.
is that what you are using in your method?
