I've spent time fiddled with this stuff a few months ago and came up with the following. The basic sequence of commands that I use is that I use look like: $x = array(); $x = stat( "simple.pdf" ); header( "Content-Length: " . $x[7] ); ^ header( "Accept-Ranges: bytes" ); header( "Connection: close" ); header( "Content-Type: application/pdf" ); readfile( "simple.pdf" ); Also, a php.ini setting of interest is: session.cache_limiter = Depending on SSL, cookies, and other things you might need to set this to either nothing at all or to public. -- Bill Rausch, Software Development, Unix, Mac, Windows Numerical Applications, Inc. 509-943-0861 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
