I am trying to create a PDF document on the fly from database information (mysql). I
have this identical script setup on my FreeBSD server (1.3.x apache, 4.3.4 php), but i
am on a Windows 2003 server and I have tried serveral combinations of apache including
1.3.31 and 2.0.49. I have also tried 4.3.4 and 4.3.7. My problem sounds simple
enough. When I click on a link I want the pdf document to open up in Adobe Acrobat,
and it does just fine when on my FreeBSD server. I copied my scripts over and when I
run them now the proper mime type is detected (I have fully looked at the headers and
they are propper and identical to the FreeBSD servers headers), but I get a window
that opens up and shows the raw text of the pdf document. If I right click on the
document and go to properties it says it is an "Adobe Acrobat Document" just like it
should. I have tried serveral different header() combinations as suggesed by the user
comments @ http://www.php.net/header but I can't get adobe !
acrobat to open the files. Its not the client or the script because everything works
fine with i direct my webbrowser back on over to my old server.
I would love to run any of the free *nixs but my job does not permit me to do that. My
only clue to this would be some php.ini file settings that i am unaware of. I have
tried both dist and recommeneded php inis.
Thanks

If the headers and data are correct then the server is handling it
correctly. What I have notice in the past is that simply hitting
refresh in IE doesn't always work. Try copying to url to the clipboard
and going to some other site. Like google.com. Then paste the url back
from the clipboard. This has worked for me in the past when IE displays
the binary data of the pdf.

Thank you very much for you observation. I am also aware of this issue, but I have
tried this already and it didn't help, because it is sending the correct mime-type as
far as I can tell. Internet Explorer reconizes it as a Adobe Acrobat Document so I
can't figure out why it won't open! I have tested this on several computers.
thanks

Hello all,
I have to run PHP 4.3.7 in ISAPI mode, because CGI gives me a security error
which is another story.
So, I have ISAPI PHP running just great, except that phpinfo() shows that my
current php.ini file is C:\WINSOWS\php.ini, and that my extension_dir is set
to C:\php4. However when I open the PHP.INI file, I see that I have it set
to C:\php\extensions. In fact, any change that I make to the PHP.INI file
is not reflected in phpinfo(). The problem persists after IISRESET.
Unless I can get PHP to actually read my php.ini file I can't enable any of
the extensions... like mssql
thank you for any help you can offer
Eric

Well, I re-installed using the ZIP and instead of doing IISRESET I recycled
the service after making changes and everything seems to be running just
fine now... false alarm :-)
