if the problem is due to flow control issues between the script and the
httpd server then perhaps changing the approach could help.
i quit using this approach of writing files to the php output buffer a
little while ago. it seemed that it was better to leave the flow control
issues entirely to apache. so i wrote the file to a specific directory on
the server and redirected the client to it, using the apache directive on
that directory:
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
you can use that directive to send whatever headers you need.
