Hi Thomas, why not implementing the follwoing steps.
1) create tmp file. 2) convert to tmp file 3) if everything worked fine reading file, setting appropriate headers and print content and afterwards delete tmp file. 4) if something went wrong you can send an error page with appropriate headers and code. I would avoid messing around with STDOUT. Best regards Andreas > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Thomas Kenyon <t...@polybond.co.uk> > Gesendet: Montag, 23.
