Question

i have this code for image download in php… works fine, image downloads but the problem is that it does not open in the place where it gets downloaded, and gives the error ” Can’t read file header…Unknown file format! “

<?php
$path = $row['img_url'].".jpg";
echo $path;
$filename = $path;
$ctype="application/.jpg";
// required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored
if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression'))
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
header("Pragma: public"); // required
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
// change, added quotes to allow spaces in filenames
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
readfile("$filename");
exit();
?>

Answer 1

you should not be echoing anything before the header and try using header(‘Content-Type: image/jpeg’);
