I think, this is a bug. But not the header() functions, it is a bug of readfile() function.I tested it over and over, no error is reported, not even the die() stops it, after that I've changed the readfile() with ` echo file_get_contents() ` and works just perfectly. I tried to compare the to results and they don't match, readfile() doesn't get all the data and get's it wrong too.

But with php-4.4.1 and php-4.4.2 the application crashes(mostly MS Word, because I try to open rtf documents and this is the default application). The script uses header function to get the document from server. Reproduce code: --------------- to get the file: <a href="fileopen.php?folder=subfolder&filename=file.rtf">file.rtf</a> fileopen.php: <? if(!isset($_GET["folder"])) $_GET["folder"]=NULL; if(!isset($_GET["subfolder"])) $_GET["subfolder"]=NULL; if(!isset($_GET["id"])) $_GET["id"]=NULL; if(!isset($_GET["filename"])) $_GET["filename"]=NULL; if($_GET["folder"]=="somatie") { $name="../".$_GET["folder"]."/".$_GET["filename"]; } else { if($_GET["subfolder"]!=NULL) $name="../".$_GET["folder"]."/".$_GET["subfolder"]."/".$_GET["id"].str_replace("*","&",$_GET["filename"]); else $name="../".$_GET["folder"]."/".$_GET["id"].str_replace("*","&",$_GET["filename"]); } $file_extension=strtolower(substr(strrchr($_GET["filename"],"."),1)); switch($file_extension) { case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break; case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break; case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break; case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break; case "csv": case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break; case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break; case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break; case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break; case "jpeg": case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break; case "mp3": $ctype="audio/mpeg"; break; case "wav": $ctype="audio/x-wav"; break; case "mpeg": case "mpg": case "mpe": $ctype="video/mpeg"; break; case "mov": $ctype="video/quicktime"; break; case "avi": $ctype="video/x-msvideo"; break; //The following are for extensions that shouldn't be downloaded (sensitive stuff, like php files) case "php": case "htm": case "html": case "txt": die("<b>Cannot be used for ". $file_extension ." files!</b>"); break; default: $ctype="application/force-download"; } // send the right headers header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Type: $ctype"); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$_GET["filename"].'";'); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($name)); // dump the picture and stop the script @readfile($name); exit; ?> Expected result: ---------------- The file should be opened with the default application. Actual result: -------------- Default application crashes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36734&edit=1
