Problem with downloading XML file

Posted by Luka, 01-16-2008, 12:00 PM
Hello, I have a script that makes XML file with DOM , stores the file on server and sending a file to user's browser for downloading. XML is formated well and file looks good when I download it from server via FTP, but when file is downloaded with browser it has first line empty.This is end of script: // Sending a file to user's browser for downloading header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK'); header('Status: 200 OK'); header('Accept-Ranges: bytes'); header('Content-Type: text/xml'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file_xml . '"'); echo file_get_contents($file_xml); What might be a problem here because it used to work on other server?

Can you publish a link to look at the data? While I would usually expect a Content-Length field that isn't required and should not result in the behavior you're seeing.

I cant provide you a link because its in admin area of site (site of my client not mine) and needs logging, but this is xml output in browser: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

this is whole script: 1 ) { $cr_sql .= " OR ( o.orders_id > {$sub_crit[0]} AND o.orders_id < $sub_crit[1]) "; } else { $cr_sql .= " OR o.orders_id = {$cr_element}"; } } $cr_sql = ' (' . trim($cr_sql, ' OR') . ') '; } if ( $_POST['orders_date_start'] ) { $cr_sql .= ( $cr_sql ) ? ' AND ' : ''; $cr_sql .= " (o.date_purchased > '{$_POST['orders_date_start']}' AND o.date_purchased < '{$_POST['orders_date_end']}') "; } if ( $_POST['orders_status'] ) { $cr_sql .= ( $cr_sql ) ? ' AND ' : ''; $cr_sql .= " o.orders_status = {$_POST['orders_status']}"; } // Create node object function new_node($parent, $title, $attributes = false, $contents = false) { global $dom; // Creating node $node = $dom->createElement($title); // Adding attributes if available if ( is_array($attributes) ) { if ( @count($attributes) > 0 ) { foreach ( $attributes as $name => $value ) { $node->setAttribute($name, $value); } } } elseif ( is_string($attributes) ) { $node->setAttribute('n', $attributes); } if ( $contents ) { $node_text = $dom->createCDATASection($contents); $node->appendChild($node_text); } if ( is_object($parent) ) { $parent->appendChild($node); } return $node; } // Initializng DOM object $dom = new DomDocument('1.0', 'ISO-8859-1'); // Creating root element $root = new_node($dom, "pacsoftonline"); // meta //$root_meta = new_node($root, 'meta'); //new_node($root_meta, 'val', 'printer', ''); // Getting orders list $orders_sql = tep_db_query("SELECT *, o.orders_id as orders_id FROM orders o LEFT JOIN orders_total ot ON (o.orders_id = ot.orders_id AND ot.class = 'ot_shipping') WHERE ($cr_sql)"); while ( $order_row = tep_db_fetch_array($orders_sql) ) { $order_info = $order_row; // Converting encoding foreach ( $order_info as $key => $val ) { echo iconv_get_encoding($val); $order_info[$key] = iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', $val); } $order_info['customers_postcode'] = str_replace(' ', '', ( $order_info['delivery_postcode']) ?

That makes me think perhaps your server is parsing the xml file as php (short_open_tag On) but that doesn't make sense with the program you've posted, since file_get_contents shouldn't be parsing the xml file anyway. It might be useful to check the headers in your browser (Firefox plugin "Live HTTP headers" is good for this).
