[PHP] fpassthru failure with mozilla

2004-10-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
I'm using fpassthru so users must log in to have access to certain
files. The users are accessing the fpassthru script with an https
connection. The code works fine with IE but sends inline ascii text
with mozilla/firefox. The code looks like this:

$filepath = bla/bla/files/;
$filename = file.zip;
$fullpath = $filepath/$filename;

header( ' Pragma: ');
header( ' Content-Type: application/force-download' );
header( ' Content-Type: application/octet-stream ' );
header( ' Content-length:'.(string)(filesize($fullpath)));
header( ' Cache-Control: private' );
header(  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='$filename');

$fh = fopen($filepath/$filename, rb);
fpassthru($fh);

Any ideas? Everything I've read says with the content type set to
application, and the disposition set to attachment I should be set,
but it doesnt seem to be the case.

 $filepath = bla/bla/files/;
 $filename = file.zip;
 $fullpath = $filepath/$filename;
 
 header( ' Pragma: ');
 header( ' Content-Type: application/force-download' );
 header( ' Content-Type: application/octet-stream ' );
 header( ' Content-length:'.(string)(filesize($fullpath)));
 header( ' Cache-Control: private' );
 header(  Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='$filename');
 
 $fh = fopen($filepath/$filename, rb);
 fpassthru($fh);

it looks good to me.  You might want to try: header('Pragma:
no-cache'); instead of header( ' Pragma: ');

Also, install http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ on mozilla.  Will
help with debugging

Why use fpassthru? I just use readfile, is there a difference?

The main difference is with fpassthru you never show to the user the
exacr location of the file, so must use the script to download it.

In example, you can control hot-links from other sites, php access
control to the file, and so on. Also, you can put the file outside the
apache documents directory, so the file will never be reached in other
way: if you want the file, you have to use the script wich controls
the access to it.

Regards,
Jordi.

I bet Apex11 meant readfile() php function.

The difference is that readfile() is easier to use and more appropriate in 
this case. RTFM if you want details.
