Thank you requinix! I didn't even think of such a security hole. I'll definitely fix that. I'm still a noob I guess, but we've all gotta start somewhere I'll try plugging the content-length into the header and see if that makes a difference. The browser never behaves like this for other file downloads so thats why I suspected the code. The browser that I tested this with was Google Chrome. Again, thank you for the helpful reply!

I have a "save file" button for mp3 files on my site. I've never used the header() function before, so I'm not positive that I'm using it right here. It works perfectly on localhost. When I upload it to my web host it works, but it takes forever for the save dialog to appear. You click the save file button and nothing happens until 20+ seconds later, then the dialog appears. It seems that the browser is downloading the whole file before the save dialog appears, then after selecting a destination the download happens instantaneously. As I've said, I'm not too familiar with the header() function or how it works, so what can I do to pop up the save as dialog first? Here is the download.php <?php header('Pragma: public'); header('Expires: 0'); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0'); header('Cache-Control: public'); header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); header('Content-Type: application/force-download'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($_GET['f']).'"'); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); readfile($_GET["f"]); ?> Thanks!
