header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: ".(string)(filesize($path)));
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$name");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n");

if ($file = fopen($path, 'rb')) {
while(!feof($file) and (connection_status()= =0)) {
print(fread($file, 1024*8));
ob_flush();
}
fclose($file);
}
return((connection_status()= =0) and !connection_aborted());
}


But for some reason if I try to open it without saving it on my disk it will causes an error. (Invalid Zip file) But if I save the file first and then open it everything works just fine.

How can I fix that ?
