Hello,

I have a script that sends a file:

<?
http_send_content_type(“text/plain”);
http_send_file('/path/to/some/file');
?>

This works fine.

If i add the QCodo include to this

<?
include_once('qcodo/includes/prepend.inc.php');
http_send_content_type(“text/plain”);
http_send_file('/path/to/some/file');
?>

it stops working.
I tried to comment out the sending of extra QCodo information in headers inside QApplicationBase.class.php (the line QApplication::InitializeServerSignature();) but this did not help.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,
Brocha

Hmm... never used http_send_file personally.

Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to use it?

I typically do something like:

<?php
    require('../path/to/prepend.inc.php');

    header('Content-Type: foo/bar');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize('/path/to/file'));
    print file_get_contents('/path/to/file');
?>

works like a charm for me...

One little comment to add to Mike Ho's snippet of code:

When dumping files to the browser use print, never echo. I thought they were the same functionality until I faced IE's security alerts for no evident reason, and solved them simply by “printing” instead of “echoing”.
