Header Location + Content Disposition - php

Question

So I have a downloads page where you click a link, it opens /downloads/download/randomhash
randomhash is found in the db, i increment a download counter, and then redirect to the actual file e.g. /uploads/2012/file.png.
Everything works except for the redirect doing what I'd like it to do. I'm not sure why it's not working...
header("Location: " . $row->uri);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$row->name");
On the first load of the file, it has the appropriate content-disposition header (in firebug), but it doesn't prompt the file to be downloaded (which it should, right??). Any ideas?

You are setting the Content-Disposition header in the same response which tells the browser where to redirect. My suggestion is to just stream the attachment on the response, with no redirect
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file-to-be-downloaded.jpg');
header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); // or what is relevant, ie application/octet-stream
$fn=fopen("path-to-file/file-to-be-downloaded.jpg","r");
fpassthru($fn);
