He is trying to send a .php file, not a .txt file. I tried the
following script, modifying yours slightly to his actual situation,
not what you chose to read into it. Since he wants to send a .php
file, and not plain text...
<?php
// load content into var
$filecontent="<?php echo 'this is a test'; $var1=5;";
$downloadfile="somefile.php";
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$downloadfile");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($filecontent));
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
?>
Obviously the $var1 is going to give him problems, since it's going
to try to interpret it before it sends the contents. Perhaps reading
the file into a variable?
<?php
// load content into var
$filecontent=readfile("page.php");
$downloadfile="somefile.php";
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$downloadfile");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($filecontent));
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
?>
and page.php:
<?php
echo 'this is a test';
$var1=5;
?>
Well, now. That seems to work. You're right. Trying things out before
recommending them IS the right answer...
The answer I gave was such because there are cases where it will NOT
work, as your own example (when modified to download an actual PHP
file) showed.
But everything I've seen, heard, and coded, tells me it's not the
best idea to let someone download actual PHP code. A zip file of it?
Sure. Emailed? ok, I guess. Put into a text box so they can copy and
paste it? fine. But downloaded directly? Why?
By the way, the solution to this is the very first example under
readfile n the manual. Perhaps a bit of RTFM is in order?
