Header/readfile does not work when trying to display image outside of website root
asked on
Hi,
I'm using this code to open an image saved outside of web root (home/kenneth/uploads/...)
It works fine in both IE and FF, but it does not work in Chrome - it just keep loading.

# Set headers
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$file['original_filename']);
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($absolute_path));
ob_clean();
flush();
# Read the file from disk
readfile($absolute_path);
$file['download_path'] = "http://".$file['hostname']."/download.php?token=".$token;
<img style="margin: 15px; max-width: 870px" src="<?php echo $file['download_path']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $file['original_filename']; ?>" />
