Barry says you can use these three: header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Type: application/download"); Richard says only use this one: header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); And, you say use both.
Both Content-Type and Content-Disposition. Richard's example is the correct Content-Type to use. Barry's is no different than this: header('Content-Type: foo/bar'); It's better to use a valid type and to not have superfluous header() calls that do nothing. Hope that helps. Chris
