[PHP] page reloading
Hi,
This is driving me nuts - all help appreciated!
The problem is that I can never get the html stuff output *after* having
included download.inc because of the exit; call -- which I have to have
else the html gets output and downloaded as well (and I don't understand why
fpassthru doesn't stop at EOF on $fp).
Is there any way to do this without the user having to click on yet another
link/button somewhere?
Donna
User clicks on a link in pageA.html:
a href=./cribs.html?action=downloadtxtuDownload TXT/u/a
cribs.html:
?php
if ( $action == 'downloadtxt' ) {
include( '../include/downloadtxt.inc' );
$action = 'howto';
}
if ( $action == 'howto' ) {
?
html
... more html stuff here
/html
?php
}
?
downloadtxt.inc:
?php
create a txt file, and then:
header( Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 );
... more header stuff
$fp = fopen( $txtfile, r );
fpassthru( $fp );
exit;
?

Replace exit; with fclose( $fp );. Please note that headers must be sent before any other output. What you are trying to achieve can be done with refresh headers (either html-meta or http). -- Dan Hardiker [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ADAM Software Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Nope - tried this way back when - if you rtfm you will see that the file is closed when fpassthru() is done reading it. If you use fclose what you get is this: PHP Warning: 27 is not a valid File-Handle resource in ... Please note that headers must be sent before any other output. yah i know this - it's the major source of my problem! What you are trying to achieve can be done with refresh headers (either html-meta or http). Huh? pls explain.

If I send this along with the rest of the headers everything is just peachy: $url = $PHP_SELF.'?uid='.$uid.'pwd='.$pwd.'action=howto'; header( 'Refresh:0; url='.$url.''); ...
