Php problem pissing me off

Hello,
I have the following script, which should work 100% in theory, but it just dosnt.

	
if (file_exists($fileUrl)) {
	$fileSize = (string)(filesize($fileUrl));
	header ("Content-Type: video/avi");
	header ("Content-Length: ".$fileSize);
	header ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Psych-Season'.$season.'Episode'.$episode.'.avi"');
	readfile($fileUrl);
	exit();
}

PHP:

I works, and sends the file to the user, but there is no progress bar when downloading. This should have been fixed by

header ("Content-Length: ".$fileSize); 

PHP:

but it isnt.

Please help me out

 

can u print the value of filesize if its printing the values correctly


try this alternative
(file_exists($fileUrl)) {
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream\n");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$fileUrl."\"\n");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n");
header("Content-length: ".filesize($fileUrl)."\n");

$fp = fopen($fileUrl, "rb");
while(!feof($fp)) {
$buffer = fread($fp, 4096);
print $buffer;
}
fclose($fp);

 

probably u r not using \n thats why ur code is not working

Regards

Alex

 

Here is what I get when I run

die($fileSize);

PHP:

365697024

Tried... same problem

Tried adding \n to each header, didnt help.

I was searching for this online and came upon this:

Source: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.4

I have no idea what it means, but it does mention ignoring the content-length, so im assuming it is relevant. Can you shed any light on this?
