Help: problem with Headers to download PDF file

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a script where when a user clicks a link he gets a PDF file to open or save.

In my index.php page I have the following link:

Code: <a href="http://localhost/example/get_file.php">Click here to get the file</a>
And the script is in get_file.php:

Code: <?php
$path = '/docs/document.pdf';
$mm_type="application/pdf";


header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: " . $mm_type);
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($path) );
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($path).'"');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

readfile($path);

exit();
?>

Unfortunately it's not working properly. When clicking on the link and either selecting 'open' or 'save' from the dialog box, the end result is always the same; the end file is about 1KB in size when originally it was 456KB and therefore it's damaged.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks!
