I tried changing the code to:
// send headers to browser to initiate file download
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$realname");
readfile($filename);
if(connection_aborted()==0)
{
$query = "UPDATE $table_data SET status = '$SESSION_UID'
WHERE id = '$id'";
$result=&$conn->Execute($query);
}
But it still doesn't work as expected. What am I doing wrong?
thanks,
Luis

The connection handling section of the manual may help you...
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php
You could possibly use register_shutdown_function() and
connection_aborted() to set the status back if the connection was
cancelled.
David.
