Re: [PHP] File download by php header...
Found the problem. It is the odbc_connect() that cause the download to fall short of completing it's download. Weird! I think it's because the database connection have a slower response time than the download response time. PHP header should not be affected by the odbc function... But then I remember about the past problem with the CGI Error when it come to php header function and odbc which I don't have this problem with ISAPI. Funny I'm getting this problem, but fortunately, the workaround is to do the odbc connection after I use the php header and that took care of it.

So, how does the php header(content-disposition:attachment;
filename='***') cause the php timeout in the first place, what seem to be
the problem?
It seems like $DownloadUpdateArray[$_REQUEST['dw_code']][1] takes so long.
Or the previous code alwyas takes 29.9 secs, who knows.
You can tell php.ini that scripts can take some time longer dan 30 secs, or
you can add a line to prolong the script time
(http://nl2.php.net/function.set-time-limit) or you can try to make that
function faster.
I have some extra headers to prevent several problems:
header(Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT); // Date in
the past
header(Last-Modified: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s) . GMT); // always
modified
header(Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate); // HTTP/1.1
header(Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0, false);
header(Pragma: no-cache); // HTTP/1.0
header(Content-type: text/csv); //adapt to
your file type
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=filename.ext');
Note that internet explorer 5.5 does not accept the 'attachment' part so
for your header with 'attachement;' in it consider to add this conditional:
if (strstr($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT],MSIE 5.5)) {$att = ;} else {$att
= attachment;;}
Thanks,
Scott

Re: [PHP] File download by php header...
Um, problem is I don't have any scripts before this sample header function. So, something is up. Does the file size 49 MB have something to do with it? Okay, saw both of the replies, so will check them out. Thanks, Scott Curt Zirzow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * Thus wrote Scott Fletcher ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi!

That's okay with the 'save as' filename because no one know hte real filename on the webserver because it is renamed when it is download anyway.
