All the contents are delivered, but not in a desirable way. what headers are sent by the server when you don't use your php script? try sending those headers instead. perhaps try application/force-download as the content type instead. for several user agents this seems to prevent then from doing something useful with the file and just save it instead. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Totally weird behavior trying to download a Mac DMG file
So I've added a product to my online store that's in .DMG format. Most
of the other files are ZIP or PDF. When someone completes a purchase,
it downloads the file to them, and this works great:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.
$file_row["filename"].'"');
$size = filesize('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
readfile('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
So I have my DMG file. I've verified that it automounts and behaves
friendly. If you do a direct download, it mounts on the desktop
perfectly, and there's all the stuff inside.
However, when I complete a test purchase and download using the above
code, the DMG file downloads, but then it mounts; the contents are
copied into the Downloads folder; the image unmounts; and then
deletes. All the contents are delivered, but not in a desirable way.
You can see the status change in the Downloads window:
Mounting the image
Copying the image
Unmounting the image
Cleaning up
WTF?
