RE: send a file or stream

["Peter Lauri" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

But can you download it correctly? Is it just the download box that shows 0 bytes?

Or is it so that you actually is doing what you do below readfile() without any argument? So that you are actually downloading something empty? :)

Hi!!

Well it works now, but with another issue, when I download it, it says that
it size is 0 bytes!!

i fwrite the file in a while, is it correct?

header()...
while()
{
  fwrite($da, "$somevar1:$somevar2");
}
fclose($da);

readfile();

thanks
