Browser displays one page of a two page document

I have this php:

<?php
//error_reporting(E_ALL);
//ini_set('display_errors', '1');
// read file & display. File passed in $_GET
// read file & display. File passed in $_GET
$path = $_GET['file'];

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=filename.pdf");

echo file_get_contents($path);
exit;
?>

Open in new window

The php script is called disp_summaryk.php & is referenced like this:

https://www.lakoshvac.com/devdev/disp_summaryk.php?file=pdfsumms/3107summls250.pdf

The displayed pdf file (in the browser Chrome) has one page ONLY showing. When I download the file & open it in Acrobat, it has 2 pages.

How can I modify the php script to show a multi page document?

Or maybe can I just direct the browser to directly display the file without needing this php program?

Thanks

Not sure what OS/Chrome version you're using. But in my Win10/newest Chrome combo, the top of the page clearly says "1/2" (and obviously when I press PGDWN key, it goes to page 2)

So you mean you put my code somewhere & used it against a two page pdf file?

Kimputer

No, I used your URL you posted.

Ok, well the, what now?

I’ll try it in Firefox tomorrow, but if that works,it’s still a HUGE problem. Telling me it works for you doesn’t help.

It has to work in all the major browsers.

This works in Firefox, Not in Chrome.

How is that possible?

Or is perhaps my Chrome somehow buggy?

Thanks

It is more complicated than I thought. The FIRST time it displays a specific item in Chrome, it works fine. 2nd and beyond, just ONE page. All have two pages.

But there are a lot of other "impossible" things happening to this project, this MIGHT be connected.

Do you have other URLs, and more PDF's, to show me exactly how to get to "the 2nd time and beyond", as I cannot replicate it right now.
