Hi, I'm trying to let users download various pdf documents from my site. Everything wokrs ok but when I open the pdf's that have been downloaded they are corrupted & won't open. I'm wondering if the information in the headers is incorrect, here's my code.

 

$id      = $_GET['id'];

$query  = "SELECT name, type, size, content FROM download WHERE id = '$id'";

$result  = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');

list($name, $type, $size, $content,$temp) = mysql_fetch_array($result);

 

    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name.$type");

header("Content-length: $size");

 

    header('Content-type: application/pdf');

    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");

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

    readfile('$name.pdf');

 

 

Anything wrong with above?

 

thanks
