Download script stopped working.

[joncom11]

I have the following download script:

<?php
Header ( "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); 
Header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$saveas"); 
readfile($download);
?>

where $download is the full url of the file
and $saveas is the name of the file...

however when I try to download anything, it saves the as _____.zip like it should, but the filesize is only a few bytes, when it should be many MB. And if you open the .zip in notepage you get the following error:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>: readfile() [<a href='http://www.php.net/function.readfile'>function.readfile</a>]: php_network_getaddresses: gethostbyname failed in <b>home\www\html\read.php</b> on line <b>4</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: readfile(http://thedomain.com/myfilesfordownload/theziptodownload.zip) [<a href='http://www.php.net/function.readfile'>function.readfile</a>]: failed to create stream: Invalid argument in <b>home\www\html\read.php</b> on line <b>4</b><br />

What does this mean.. what is wrong...

Not completely sure, but I do know that the PHP.ini file has a setting for the max file size for uploads.

Ok this is just weird... I host the same file on 3 servers.... it only works on one of them.... thing is, the server that is DID run on was from a hosting plan... and another one that the script DIDN"T work on was from another hosting plan... say are the same plans... same features...
