RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #14653 Updated: Internet Explorer for Macintosh receives bad HTTP header info from PHP Header()

This works properly on IE for Mac for redirecting users to download a file: Header("Refresh: 0;URL=http://www.mywebsite.com/junk.zip"); HOWEVER, it clears the web page which is very confusing to users. It's unsuitable for dynamic PHP sites. <sigh> The only other way to go, I think, is to write my own custom version of PHP's Header() function. Any other thoughts? FB
