This header defines the size of the file to be downloaded (in bytes) and is used by browsers when downloading files to tell the user how much of the download has completed. Have you ever noticed how sometimes your browser’s download manager will tell you how far a file download has progressed (something like “43% Complete”), and sometimes it will only say something to the effect of “458kb of ? have been transfered.” The culprit in this scenario is developers neglecting the implementation of the Content-Length header. In my opinion is a simple courtesy to include this header in your scripts involving file downloads. Content-Length is another header that should be used when prompting a user to download a file.

This isn’t necessary, but it is considered a best practice. In the event that your redirect fails, you will more than likely want to keep the rest of the script from executing. You should always have exit(); after a header redirection as it can then become a security flaw. I have sucessfully gained access to a backend system because the developer didnt kill the script after he redirected the user to a failed login page.
