hi,

i have a script that views a pdf in a browser, namely mozilla.

instead it prompt me to download the php file.

 

<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['userid']))
die($_SESSION['userid']);
ob_start();
$book = $_GET['book'];
$fileExtension = "pdf";

$sourceFile = "\\\\asecasiagsd\\ags\\ags\\wip\\upload\\".$book;
$outputFile = $sourceFile; // the name they save as can be different to the existing file

// required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored
//if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');

switch( $fileExtension)
{
    case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
    case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
    case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
    case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
    case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;
    case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break;
    case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
    case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
    case "jpeg":
    case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
    default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}

//session_cache_limiter("");

header("Pragma: public"); // required
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
//header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($outputFile).";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($sourceFile));

readfile("$outputFile") ;  // This is the bit that prompts for the download, supress errors for niceness
exit();
?>
