[SOLVED] header function doesn't work

[genu]

Hi, i've been working on a function to fetch and "mp3" from a server, and display the "Download" dialog in order to download it.

 

it looks like this:

 

    header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
    header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header("Expires: 0");
    header("Content-Length: ".$filesize);
    header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename);
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

 

Basically, I'm trying to avoid the mp3 to open with the default player. That function works that it opens the download dialog. The problem is that the file is 0bytes after download.

 

Am I missing something?

I think you have to actually output the file, right?  You need to add something like this at the end of that script:

 

readfile($filename);

yeah...is there more to script?

After I posted this, I continue to serach google and PHP.net, and After I added readfile($filename);

 

it seems to have worked.

 

I appreciate the replies...thank you

Hey, now that I got this function to work. Is it possible to get the same effect from another function that has allow_url_fopen dissabled on the server?

you can use cURL, but that is kind of silly, since it would download the remote file to your server, then send it to the user...
