IE doesn't load PDF sometimes and prints garbage
I have Apache running on RedHat Linux and have a site that redirect user to different PDF files. However, I SOMETIMES got the PDF file printed on IE instead of loading Acrobat Reader. I am using IE 6 and Acrobat Reader 6. I have been looking for a solution but failed. This is urgent! Please help.
My file:
--------
<?php
$link=$_REQUEST["link"];
$ext = strtolower(stristr($link, '.'));
if (strcmp($ext, '.pdf')==0) {
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile($link);
} else {
echo "<html><head><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"1; URL=$link;\"></BODY></HTML>";
}
?>
Garbage that I got from IE
