Body
I trying to force a download by the browser here is my code: <pre><code>header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header('Content-type: audio/mp3'); header('Content-Description: File Download'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $file_name); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); header('Expires: 0'); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0'); header('Pragma: public'); header('Content-length: ' . filesize($file_path); ob_clean(); flush(); readfile($file_path); </code></pre> This works perfectly on my local machine, but when I upload it to my live server, the binary file is dumped to the browser and those gibberish characters fill up the browser window. What could be the problem? I am on a shared server so I don't know if my apache configuration needs to be changed or something. I took @sanmi advice and used Firebug to see the response header and here is what I got: <pre><code>Here is what I got sanmai: Server nginx/0.7.67 Date Tue, 06 Sep 2011 15:02:03 GMT Content-Type text/html; charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding chunked Connection keep-alive Expires Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma no-cache Vary Accept-Encoding,User-Agent Content-Encoding gzip </code></pre> I can see that the content-type entry has changed to text/html, and that the server is actually a nginx one. So is this a nginx issue or are my header entries wrong? Thanks, Tsega

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
