Ave,
I made a change last evening, and since the change.. It seems to be working
fine. Thus far I haven't had the 1 KB downloaded file problem. I have been
trying all evening and this morning, from different places, and somehow
right now it seems to be working fine.
What I simply did was this:
Instead of
<a
href=\"imsafm_user_dl.php?ID=$myrow[ID]&P=imsafm/$user&F=$myrow[filename]\">
<img src=b_newtbl.png border=0></a>
As my link to the download file, I changed it to
<a href=\"imsafm_user_dl.php?F=imsafm/$user/$myrow[filename]\"><img
src=b_newtbl.png border=0></a>
And changed the code in the download file to
<?php
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($F));
@readfile($F);
?>
I didnšt need to send the ID var to the download file, and I condensed the
number of Variables I was passing.
Somehow this seems to be working for me. I was just trying this out to one
by one eliminate possibilities. And it works.Since I made this change, the
actual file is being downloaded and not the 1 KB file.
I donšt really know why though. I understand I didnšt need to divide the
path into 2 variables. But what if I really needed to send the ID variable?
I donšt exactly understand how this setup of Variables affected the file
being downloaded.
Thanks anyways.
