Joe,
I have been there:-)
I use this scripts
?
function detect_browser($variable)
{
if(eregi((msie) ([0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{1,3}), $variable))
{
$content = ie;
} else {
$content = nn;
}
return $content;
}
# Send the file to the downloaders browser #
$file_dl = $base_dir.$file;
if (detect_browser($HTTP_USER_AGENT) == ie) {
Header(Content-type: application/force-download);
} else {
Header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
}
Header(Content-Length: .filesize($file_dl));
Header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file);
Header(Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate);//HTTP/1.1
Header(Pragma: no-cache);//HTTP/1.0
readfile($file_dl);
?
The first time I run this script, I works fine. The file downloads properly
to the client machine with the right size and content. Most of the file is
text file.
After some times, I met the same problem as yours. The file size is 0.
I don't know, perhaps I change the browser setting or my Admin change the
Apache settings, PHP or some thing else.
I ask everywhere, many mailing list. and I gave up.
I just change it to
Header(Location: $url.$filename);
It works but there is a funny things.
The file can be downloaded properly if the file (with such an extension) has
been opened with notepad. If not, the file will opened in the browser.
:-)...it's an experience.

Subject: [PHP] Download File Problem - text not appearing on downloaded file
Hi there. I managed to get the prompt for a file download when a user
clicks
on a text link. The file downloads properly to the client machine, howevr,
when I open up the file there is no content. What do I have to add to the
following code to get the content sent back to the user?
Thx Joe :)
?PHP
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.txt);
?
