Try to box it in a bit more. 
For example, will other file types download successfully. 
[Typically, .zip files will always download properly.] 
 
Try appropriately filled out inclusion of additional headers as suggested in
below sample:
 
$filename = "MAQ09718.MP4";
header("Pragma: public"); 
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false); 
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
 
 
Google "force file download issues php" to find more headers you may need.
Call directly to and/or surf manufacturer's site for known issues / browser
version issues.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Force download


Any reason why the following script wouldn't force download the file in
question with the appropiate name in all situations? Works in a few
browsers, but, not while using the Internet Browser on the PSP. Tries to
save the file 'download.php' instead of the actual video file. 

Thanks

<?
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-type: application/force-download');
$filename = "MAQ09718.MP4";

header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";" );
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filename));

readfile($filename);
exit();

?>

Has anyone used the pear LiveUser auth classes?  Are they worth the hassle
of setting up and trying (also still in beta) or is there a better/easier
user login management tool available.
 
thanks,
