Concerning [problems with UTF-8 and] downloading Zip files I found that simply adding 3 lines of code before starting the fread to the buffer for delivery in all browsers solved the problem.



<?php

    ob_end_clean();

    ob_start();

    header( 'Content-Type:' );

?>



... see where placed in the function below:



<?php

function readfile_chunked( $filename, $retbytes = true ) {

    $chunksize = 1 * (1024 * 1024); // how many bytes per chunk

    $buffer = '';

    $cnt = 0;

    $handle = fopen( $filename, 'rb' );

    if ( $handle === false ) {

        return false;

    }

    ob_end_clean(); //added to fix ZIP file corruption

    ob_start(); //added to fix ZIP file corruption

    header( 'Content-Type:' ); //added to fix ZIP file corruption

    while ( !feof( $handle ) ) {

        $buffer = fread( $handle, $chunksize );

        //$buffer = str_replace("ï»¿","",$buffer);

        echo $buffer;

        ob_flush();

        flush();

        if ( $retbytes ) {

            $cnt += strlen( $buffer );

        }

    }

    $status = fclose( $handle );

    if ( $retbytes && $status ) {

        return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does.

    }

    return $status;

}
