Download file error

I've used the file download successfully on other pages but now it just wants to download the page rather than the file.

The first code download the file correctly but the but the download behavior fails!

<a href="../vTskb28R01a/<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row_WADAcmes['upload_cmeRC']); ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($row_WADAcmes['upload_cmeRC']); ?></a>

<?php
WA_DFP_SetupDownloadStatusStruct("WA_DownloadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["downloadReCert"]) || isset($_POST["downloadReCert_x"])){
WA_DFP_DownloadFile("WA_DownloadResult1", "../../BU/vTskb28R01a/reCert/".$_SESSION['idRc'] ."/", "".$row_WADAcmes['upload_cme'] ."", "[FileName]", false, false, false, "", "", "", "");
}
?>

Here is the button

<input type="submit" name="downloadReCert" id="downloadReCert" value="Download" />

could be a php error occurring, or it could be the session is not visible. try adding the following code at line 1:

<?php

@session_start();

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors','on');

?>

The download seems to work well with files under say 1 meg, but files over say 2 megs download damaged! This appears to be file size issue.

Any thoughts?

you will need to update the php.ini file on the server to increase the Memory_limit Max_execution_time settings to allow enough time and memory for the larger file to download.

Here is my PHP.INI output, what would your recommend the settings to be?

lude_path .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php
log_errors On On
log_errors_max_len 1024 1024
magic_quotes_gpc On On
magic_quotes_runtime Off Off
magic_quotes_sybase Off Off
mail.force_extra_parameters no value no value
max_execution_time 300 300
max_file_uploads 20 20
max_input_nesting_level 64 64
max_input_time 18000 18000
memory_limit 128M 128M
open_basedir no value no value
output_buffering no value no value
output_handler no value no value
post_max_size 128M 128M
precision 12 12
realpath_cache_size 16K 16K

those settings look like they should work, but really it depends on your connection speed and how long it takes your host to send the file to your system.

try adding this at line 1 of the page:

<?php set_time_limit(0); ?>
