PHP problems in Pocket IE

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

In Pocket IE when I click on a link to a streamed mp3
file it asks me if I want to save the PHP file to my
device.

I am using the Zina streaming jukebox on my desktop (IIS4
& PHP v4) which creates URLs in the form "/index.php?
l=8&p=MP3_FILE_PATH&m=1" and connecting to it on my PDA.
The links work fine on the desktop and they open in
Winamp and stream as they should but they don't work on
the PDA (Pocket PC 2002 EUU3)

Any help would be great (maybe need to change
PPC/Zina/IIS settings?)

Thanks

Paul

Cheers, I've tried what you said but it didn't work.

Must be a PPC problem, but then its weird cuz streaming
does work, I've had both 'Winamp+Media Encoder -> Pocket
Media Player' and 'Winamp+Shoutcast -> GSPlayer' working
fine streaming from the desktop to the PPC, must be
something to do with IIS+PHP streaming...

Thanks anyway,

Paul

There were some other headers being output but removing
them has no effect.

I think the problem is more to do with how Pocket IE
handles the link, because when the link is clicked it
tells index.php to send the file, but it doesn't get that
far because pIE tries to download index.php instead of
actioning it.

I think I'll just leave it as I'm by no means a PHP guru!
(and I can kind of achieve what I want using
Winamp+Shoutcast)

The code for Zina is from http://www.pancake.org/zina/ if
you want to take a look yourself.

Thanks for the help anyway,

Paul
