[resolved] ignore mime types

[squirrelly1]

how can I have my php script just send a file to be downloaded, ignoring the mime type (i suppose)

i'm trying to setup my server to allow people to download an mp3 (it's totally legal... btw) and the browser tries to play the mp3 instead of allowing it to be saved...


here is the code

<?php
  function DownloadFile($file)
    {
      define('FILEDIR', '/music/'); 
      $path = FILEDIR . $file; 
  
      //check that this file exists and that it doesn't include 
      //any special characters 
      if(!is_file($path) OR !eregi('^[A-Z_0-9][A-Z_0-9.]*$', $file)) 
      { 
          print "Requested Path: $path<br>";
          print "Is a File: " . is_file($path) . "<br>";
          print "Is Valid: " . eregi('^[A-Z_0-9][A-Z_0-9.]*$', $file) . "<br>";
          exit(); 
      } 
  
      /* 
      ** //check that the user has permission to download file 
      ** if(user does not have permission) 
      ** { 
      **     //redirect to error page 
      **     header("Location: error.php"); 
      **     exit(); 
      ** } 
      */ 
  
      $mimetype = array( 
          'doc'=>'application/msword', 
          'htm'=>'text/html', 
          'html'=>'text/html', 
          'jpg'=>'image/jpeg', 
          'pdf'=>'application/pdf', 
          'txt'=>'text/plain', 
          'xls'=>'application/vnd.ms-excel',
          'mp3'=>'audio/mpeg'
          ); 
  
      $p = explode('.', $file); 
      $pc = count($p); 
  
      //send headers 
      if(($pc > 1) AND isset($mimetype[$p[$pc - 1]])) 
      { 
          //display file inside browser 
          header("Content-type: " . $mimetype[$p[$pc - 1]] . "\n"); 
      } 
      else 
      { 
          //force download dialog 
          header("Content-type: application/octet-stream\n"); 
          header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"\n"); 
      } 
      header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n"); 
      header("Content-length: " . filesize($path) . "\n"); 
  
      //send file contents 
      $fp=fopen($path, "r"); 
      fpassthru($fp); 
    }
?>

thanks,
