Header problem

Hi Php people

I have a really strange and annoying problem. I've got a site, where
members can download music. User clicks index.php (in index.php
there's an iframe, that opens another file), if certain check are okay
then a popup window opens download.php, where a mp3 file is fetched
from the server and renamed in the header, then pushed to the enduser,
this works fine. But now I want to create zipfiles too but when a user
downloads a zipfile it's like the whole site is freezed until download
has completed. My guess is that this is some sort of header problem
(see headers below), due to three headers at the same time, cause the
class works as expected in the test page i've created. Inputs to
correct headers would be appriciated very much :-)

Mp3 headers:
$new_filename = "attachment; filename=\"{$artist} - {$title}.mp3\"";
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: $size");
header("Content-Disposition: $new_filename");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile($source_file);

Zip headers:
$zip = new zipfile();
$zip->add_dir(".");
$new_filename= "{$artist} - {$title}.mp3";
if(mysql_num_rows($result)) {
$zip->add_file($file, $new_filename);
}
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header("Content-type: application/zip");
#header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"zipTest.zip\"");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
ob_end_clean();
echo $zip->file();

Code example: http://lps.netlinq.dk/test010/test_zip.class.php

Headers (fetched with firefox add-on: live http headers)

This is headers from the site, where the problem occurs:

1. click on the link to a title (Maxwell in this case)

Take care

hi Kim,

so far I see you have forgotten to set a "Content-Length" header for the
zip file. I have at the moment not the time to read and interpret all
the header dumps ...
