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.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
