[SOLVED] headers

[spooke2k]

if( $_POST['Download_button']=='Download' )

{

 

$part1 = 'http://testetc/pressservice//';

$part2 = $_POST['group1'];

$part3 = '.jpg';

$file = $part1 . $part2  .  $part3;

echo $file;

header("Pragma: public");

header("Expires: 0");

header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");

header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));

header( "Content-Description: File Transfer");

@readfile($file);

 

can anyone tell me why the header code bits work if there at the top of the php script but dont if they are position as they are now or how i can fix this thanks

 

code works fine on its own if its at top with preset variables like file = "path of what file is"

Take a look at the sticky post labeled, HEADER ERRORS - READ HERE BEFORE POSTING THEM

really dont get what u mean all i know is the code forces image download if its at the top and if its in my if statement the file becomes currpted when it comes down comes down and cant open it and im running out of ideas .

You echoed before a header() function.
