send zip file to browser / force direct download

Question

i created with php zip ( http://php.net/manual/de/book.zip.php ) a zip file

now i have to send it to the browser / force a download for it.

Answer 1

You need to do it this way, otherwise your zip will be corrupted:

$size = filesize($yourfile);
header("Content-Length: \".$size.\"");

So content-length header needs a real string, and filesize returns and integer.
