Hi all!

I have this problem, that I need to check the user (using session data
and some checks (included files)), then when ok, I can send a file to
the user.... meaning (simplified):

header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: -1");

session_start();
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=="logout")
session_unset();

include("session_control.php");
include('classes.php');

then, if needed, I might try this (sending a generated file to the
user):

header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
readfile($userfile);

But, I cannot set the headers any more. Then again, I need the
$_SESSION information to check this first, and I need some included
functions to do that.

The very ugly solution is all code in one file. There must be another
way....

Any idea how to overcome this?
