[thelist] Sending File Size headers in PHP

[Tony Grimes]

I've got a PHP download script that sends a file to the browser, but while
it's downloading, the browser displays something like "25K of ?". Is there a
way of telling the browser how big the file is?

<code>

if(is_file(/path/to/file.doc)) {

    // Tell Browser what type of file we're outputting.
    header("Content-type: application/ms-word");

    // Give it a name.
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.doc");

    // Output the file.
    readfile(/path/to/file.doc);

}

</code>

Any help would be appreciated.
