[PHP] understanding headers

[Colin Bossen]

Hello:

I am trying to use the header function to enable users to download files. I am able to get files to download. Unfortunately, the wrong file keeps downloading. Instead of downloading the file I want the php source file is getting downloaded. Here is the posting code:

$output = "<a href=\"download.php?name=".$filename."&size=".$size."\">Click here to download ".$filename."</a>";

echo $output;

Here is the download code:

<?php
if ($name) {

header("Content-type: application/x-macbinary");
header("Content-length: $size");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
header("Content-Description: PHP Generated Data");
echo $data;
}
?>

Any help anyone might have would be much appreciated.

Colin
