But I am lost all I get are header errors... I am not sure if it is the old php that we run with or most likely me...
I was hoping someone would help me out
my download php :
<?php
function download($file)
{
$filename = $file;
print($filename .' is the file name \n' );
$filename = realpath($filename); //server specific
$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));
if (! file_exists( $filename ) )
{
die("NO FILE HERE");
};
switch( $file_extension )
{
case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;
case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break;
case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
case "jpe": case "jpeg":
case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}
header("Pragma: public"); // required
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($filename).";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".@filesize($filename));
@readfile("$filename") or die("File not found.");
exit();
}
?>
my test.php as I call it is:
<?php
include('download.php'); // this is your script which I've turned into a function.
?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['download'])) {
$filename =('leaveform.pdf');//$_POST['leaveform.pdf'];
download($filename);
}
?>
<body>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['download.php'];?>">
<input type="submit" name="download" value="Click to Download the PDF"/>
<input type="hidden" name="file" value="leaveform.pdf" />
</form>
<? print($filename . " is the file name.")?>
</body>
can any tell me where I am going wrong?
It will be easier to pinpoint the problem if you show us the error message. I'm sure someone will get you fixed right up.
errors:
leaveform.pdf is the file name \n

The Binary garbage is, I beleive, the file.
<?php
include('download.php'); // this is your script which I've turned into a function.
?>
RIGHT HERE
<?php
if (isset($_POST['download'])) {
$filename =('leaveform.pdf');//$_POST['leaveform.pdf'];
download($filename);
}
?>
Try this instead:
<?php
include('download.php');
if (isset($_POST['download'])) {
$filename =('leaveform.pdf');//$_POST['leaveform.pdf'];
download($filename);
}
?>
does eith of those files hav a blank line outside of the <?php?> tags, any hard return will do it.
is there any other output you can see being sent to the browser?

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/download.php:37) in /var/www/html/download.php on line 28
I am not sure how to fix this and I am getting very frustrated. I am thinking that what I want to do is impossible.
THanks
- headers() cannot be sent if output has already been made
(remembering that 'output' can be
echo()statements, embedded HTML or even "white space" outside of the
<php? ...?>statements)
If so, then what you need to investigate is:
ob_start())
