I set a header in the following way:

header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($strPath));

On my PC with ZendServer it works fine and I can download a file with the correct file size. On the production server, a Solaris with Apache and compiled PHP, I get a file with the file size equal to zero, so an empty file.

Is there a config parameter? Something that can prevent to set ‘Content-Length: 1222’?

Thanks.

The code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

require 'includes/prepend.inc.php';
require __ADMIN_DIR__.'/AdminInfo.php';
$intFile = QApplication::QueryString('fileID');
if($intFile == '') die('Error: missing ID');
$objFile = File::Load($intFile);
$blnRight = false;
$objAdminInfo = new AdminInfo();
if($objAdminInfo->isAdmin()) {
    $blnRight = true;
}
else {
    $objSecMan = new SecurityManager(
        'file:'.$objFile->FileID, 
        $objAdminInfo->getUserID()
    );
    $blnRight = $objSecMan->processResource('view');
}

// if the user can modify and or publish, can even view the file
if(!$blnRight) {
    $blnRight = $objSecMan->processResource('modify');

    if(!$blnRight) {
        $blnRight = $objSecMan->processResource('publish');
    }       
}

//$strPath = __UPLOADS__.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$objFile->FileID;
$strPath = 'subdept.csv';

if (file_exists($strPath) && $blnRight) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$strPath);//$objFile->Filename);
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($strPath));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($strPath);
    exit;
}
else {
    die('Restricted access');
}   
?>

When I comment the code before $strPath it works, so it must be something in the bloody framework. I would like to throw the whole CMS away.
