download file behaviour not working

download file behaviour not working

I have applied a download behaviour to the following form:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="file-e" id="file-e" action="" >
<input type="hidden" name="file-name-e" value="<?php echo $row_rsEnquiryDetail['files_e']; ?>">
<button type="submit" id="download" name="download-e" class="btn btn-default btn-xs">Download</button>
</form>

But for not the first time I can not get this to work. Once I click the submit form I just get a screen similar to the screen shot attached. Its possible it might be because of the session value and the recordset ( sql statement ) but this is something I struggle to understand.

I have attached this page ( enquiry-details.php ) and the page that has the links with url parameters ( enquiries-list.php ) that determine the content of the enquiry-details.php page. This page will eventually have numerous download behaviours but I'm only testing the 'files_e' form currently.

Do you have a url where I can view the problem? I'd like to see if the hidden file location field is being filled in correctly and if the paths all look right on the live page.

The issue now seems to be a blank line of code, which will corrupt downloads in php.... looks like line 55 might be it.

It may have changed since your last attachment.. . but in the details page attachment above it is a blank line. Blank lines in between code chunks in php cause problems. It should be deleted.

I don't know wether to laugh or cry. After all the headaches this has caused it was a space in my code!

Thanks!
