I'm offering a sermon downloading site and I have a user experiencing an issue with his download. Anyone have any ideas on how I can improve this code, or perhaps send better headers...

$path = "http://www.domain.com/sermon_files/".date("Y", $array["preached"])."/".$array["filename"];
$corePath = "/home/user/public_html/sermon_files/".date("Y", $array["preached"])."/".$array["filename"];
if (!file_exists($corePath)) {
 echo "An error has occured with this download."; 
} else {
 header("Pragma: public"); // required
 header("Expires: 0");
 header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
 header("Cache-Control: private", false); 
 header("Content-Type: audio/mp3");
 header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$array["title"]."\";" );
 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
 header("Content-Length: ".filesize($corePath));
 readfile($path);
 exit();
}

Combine your PHP ( ? ) code with a server with X-Send available, lighttpd has it so does apache

Watch out for Expires: 0 on downloads. This messes with IE6's tiny little brain and makes it think there is no data to save/open. Try expiring in a minute from access and see if that fixes the problem. Otherwise, tell us exactly what the problem is.

Take a look at this thread, I had similar problems: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1597732/php-force-file-download-and-ie-yet-again. Also consider using Fiddler to capture the exact HTTP headers that are being sent to the client.
