php file download script no longer working after upgrade to EA4

Hi,

We have a vpn account on hostwinds using whm / cpanel.

Hostwinds support recently upgraded the server to ea4. Since then we have had several issues with php scripts. Most are resolved but we cannot find a solution for an issue with a download script, specifically docx downloads. After downloading and opening, a popup appears saying the file is corrupted. All this used to work fine before the upgrade.

We tried and looked everywhere to no avail so far. Perhaps anyone here can help?

Code:

header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
if($ext == "docx"){
    header("Content-type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document");//application/pdf');
}else{
    header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");//application/pdf');
}
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); 
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$name."\"");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Pragma: public");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file));
//ob_clean();
//flush();
readfile($file);

Thanks,
Raoul

 

Hi Michael,

Thank you for helping with this!

Is that in the cpanel login: SOFTWARE > MultiPHP Manager ?

It says PHP 5.4 (ea-php54). But there is no exact reference to which PHP handler is enabled. It does show a PHP version dropdown with the following options: PHP 5.4 (ea-php54), PHP 5.5 (ea-php55), PHP 5.6 (ea-php56).

The code I posted does reproduce the problem on our server, just set $ext to "docx", replace $name for any name with the docx estension and point $file to an exisiting docx file on the test server.

Images and PDF files download well, docx fails as described. This used to work just fine before the ea4 upgrade. I guess php 5.4 is a bit older, can that be the reason?

yes, sorry, I found it after doing a search for "MultiPHP Manager"

The PHP handler tab shows suphp for all three php versions I mentioned in my previous post. Is that what you were asking for?

Is it better to open a support ticket for this?

Thanks again,
Raoul
