You need to know the mime type for the file you're serving. Call
header('Content-Type: x/y'); where x/y is the mime type. Then call
readfile('/path/to/file/on/server'); to output the file to the
browser.

Stut, trying that method gives me the following: PHP Warning:
readfile(
\\server\folder\file.xls) [<a
href='function.readfile'>function.readfile</a>]: failed to open
stream:
Invalid argument on line 44
Here's my code. Line 44 is where it stated readfile()
This document is located on a seperate server.
<?php
$folder = $_GET['folder'];
$file = $_GET['file'];
$filename = "\\\\server\\".$folder."\\".$file.".xls";
header("Content-Type: application/x-msdownload");
readfile($filename);
?>
This won't address the permissions issue, but I ran into a similar
problem where IE wouldn't open the file unless 'exit;' was present.
You may want to add:
<?php
readfile($filename);
exit;
?>
