Header attachment totally failing?!

[Twango]

This morning, I had a working php script. Simply using

header("Content-type:audio/x-wav");header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=ASCII.wav");readfile("ASCII.wav");

Now... This morning it was downloading the song properly. But now when I download it, it's only 222 bytes.I haven't changed anything at all... it's really making me mad!I cant figure out why this isnt workingHELP

[justsomeguy]

Add a content-length header to tell the browser how much data to expect. Have you verified that the wav file is not that small?

[Twango]

Yes, I have verified that. Because before it was downloading it 24MB... anyway how do I do the "content length header"?

[justsomeguy]

The header function will add any header. The content-length header should list the length of the data in bytes. You should be able to use the filesize function to get the size of the file. There's an example here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-Length

Still isnt working... I made another page to get the value in bytes; here's the code I have now.header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=ASCII.wav;content-length:27770924");It's still download 222 bytes!

[Twango]

Now that I think about it that could be glitchy; here's my full code NOW....header("Content-type:audio/x-wav");header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=ASCII.wav");header("Content-Length:27770924");

[justsomeguy]

Technically, you're supposed to have a space after the colon after the header name. e.g.:header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="report.csv"');

[Twango]

It's downloading the OTHER one fine... Two files; one works fine, the other one doesn't... WHY!?

[justsomeguy]

What is the complete code on the page? Open the 222 byte file you downloaded in a text editor and see if it contains an error message.

[Twango]

Ooookay that's odd... it just started working... changed nothing at all. strange.

If your host supports it I would suggestion using zlib.output compression as well as the flush() method

if($_GET['mode'] == 'export' && $_GET['dl'] == '1') {if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');$044467d6c7609f0c48bbfa6b4e6a1202 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM files WHERE token = '".$10bbf6d474e63a7580069a78e2690fe9."'");$cf_rows = mysql_fetch_array($044467d6c7609f0c48bbfa6b4e6a1202);$128263007e9a21197bc41887abdaeb97 = $cf_rows['file'];$size = $cf_rows['size'];$name = $cf_rows['name'];$type = $cf_rows['type'];$oath = $cf_rows['aoth_tkn'];if($0b77a7157d890651d8be9867aff97a52 != 09bfa665212399c841c8e844dc29a4e6($0b06d2f4f9f2c06c1dc3255b9ea877d2])) {  exit();} else {header("Pragma: public"); // requiredheader("Expires: 0");header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsersheader("Content-Type: ".$type."");header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=".$name."");header("Content-Length: ".$size);ob_clean(); flush();$fp = fopen($128263007e9a21197bc41887abdaeb97, "r"); while (!feof($fp)){	echo fread($fp, 65536); 	flush(); // this is essential for large downloads}  fclose($fp);#readfile("".$128263007e9a21197bc41887abdaeb97."");}}}

The attachment location will not be shown and not only that but my attachments are hashed via md5 and then uploaded to web server however during downloading you get original file name with fake path ^^
