tar.gz corrupter download php

[Rooting]

hi man..
i have a file *.tar.gz

and this file php


<?php

$file = "./file.tar.gz";


header('Content-Type: application/x-gzip-compressed');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file.'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');

?>


becouse when i download the file, the archive show it's corrupted??..
but the tar.gz in the root folder is right!!..

I don't think that this is a path issue, but rather an actual corrupted file. Download a different file from SourceForge and then test it with you script to see if that acts like its corrupt.

a strange problem..any suggestion PeejAvery??

i could be wrong here, but you are only just returning a header and not the actual file ....

you also need to send the file, after the header ...

readfile($file);

but is the same..
the file is damage or unknow say winrar..

I don't think you are completely understanding me, or I can't understand you.

Did you, download normally (through the browser) a different tar.gz file from somewhere, and open it with Winrar? And then try opening that same file using your script?

I resolved thanks!!..
but now my problem, is that i would download this file,
and not open..
when the browser show me whot i would to do, save or open,
i would like to set save file, whithout open..

i tryed whith
application/force-download

but nothing..
whot can i do??

From what I understand, you want the browser to not have a say in the option of opening the file. If this is what you are attempting, you cannot override that. That is built into the browser itself and cannot be altered by any scripting.
