Sending correct file size with PHP download script

Question

I created a file download script in PHP, it works, but web browsers report the file as "Unknown Length". My code is as follows:

function downloadFile($file){
  // Set up the download system...
  header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
  header('Content-Type: '.mime_content_type($file));
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
  header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
  header('Expires: 0');
  header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
  header('Pragma: public');
  header('Content-Length: '.filesize($file));

  // Flush the cache
  ob_clean();
  flush();

  // Send file to browser
  readfile($file);

  // DO NOT DO ANYTHING AFTER FILE DOWNLOAD
  exit;
}

Answer 1

Try not flushing the cache before readfile() function. My code is almost identical to yours otherwise, and works fine.
