Downloading file is corrupted - header



I have be trying to figure out what is wrong but every time i download the image and try to open it, it says that the file is corrupt.





$h is the path which is pulled from the database, the $h displays the image on the page successfully but I dont get why it wont download. Any ideas ??







header("Pragma: public"); // required

header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers

header('Content-Length: '. filesize("../".$h));

header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');

header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.md5($h).$ext.'"');

header('Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary');

header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');



readfile("../".$h);

  1. Try this:

    $localPath = realpath("../$h");
    if (!file_exists($localPath)) {
    exit("Cannot find file located at '$localPath'");
    }

    header('Pragma: public'); // required
    header('Content-Length: '.filesize($localPath));
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.md5($localPath).'.'.$ext.'"');
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0', false);
    header('Cache-Control: private', false); // required for certain browsers

    readfile($localPath);
    exit;

  2. Maybe try to add the following 2 commands before your readfile line.

    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($file);


    These lines were in the example for the PHP docs on readfile.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
