how to download text files
Hi everybody.
I`m trying to download a file(a text file) from within my application,
but no sucess.
The file is downloaded, but empty.
Below is my code. What I`m doing wrong?
Thanks,
Sergio
<?php
// load content into var
$filecontent="Some text/code im creating in the script";
$downloadfile="myfile.txt";
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$downloadfile");
header("Content-length", filesize("$filename"));
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($filecontent));
header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
?>

at the end of your script add this line
echo $filecontent;
You have the headers correct, you just aren`t actually pushing the data
back to the client.
Thank you,
