MP3 Showing File Contents

[DonP]

On an a couple MP3 files that are in a MySQL database, trying to play them simply shows the BLOB field contents. WAV files seem to play properly.

I am sending header info as:

header("Mime-version: 1.1");
header("Content-Type: " . $MimeType);
header("Content-Length: " . strlen($AudioClip)); 
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename= " . $SampleTitle);

print $AudioClip;

These variables produce something like this:

header("Mime-version: 1.1");
header("Content-Type: audio/mpeg");
header("Content-Length: 100000")
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=audiofile.mp3");

print $AudioClip;

Any ideas?

I don't know the answer, but my guess is that you are either mis-using the content-type, or your client(s) do not have the correct handler to deal with the content-type you've chosen.

That's a possibility since when I hard-code it to:

header("Content-Type: audio/mpeg");

it seems to work! Apparently it needs the closing quote:

header("Content-Type: " . $MimeType . "\"");

So simple. Thanks!
