Re: Downloading movies / forcing download

A successful download across all browsers requires proper headers.

I do not have time to fix your code, but here are some suggestions, which for me do successful downloads regardless the browser -

header("Content-type: $mime");

/*
 *
 * This fixed the download in IE 7
 *
 * EXPLANATION
 *
 *     Without this direct point to the URI
 *     leads to attempt to download index.php, which leads to nothing.
 *
 */
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0");

/*
 *
 * RFC 2183
 *
 * Works on IE 7 and FF 1.5
 *
 */
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"; size=$size");

/*
 *
 * RFC 2183
 *
 * No idea what it is good for.
 *
 */
header('Content-Description: download');
