hi,
well just to make sure, i also ran this test under linux/apache and
win2000/apache testing with IE6 and the same error occurs.
it also doesnt matter if i use sessions,
so, the following doesnt work either with POST, but it does work with GET:
-----------------------------
<?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
if(isset($_POST["download"])){
$file_name=$_POST["download"];
header("Content-type:application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: inline;filename=\"mypdf.pdf\"");
header("Content-length:".(string)(filesize($file_name)));
header("location: $file_name");
exit;
}
?>
<form method=post>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" name=download value="mypdf.pdf">
</form>
---------------------
i also opened a brand new browser window and delete all the cache stuff.
i still find it strange that this only occurs when using the post method
and not with the get method, while using appart from that, exactly the same
code.
