Headaque! --------------------[snip]-------------------- What are the exact headers you are sending for the downloaded file? For downloadable files I always use this construct, and AFAIK it works with IE as well as Netscape: header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($filecontents)); header('Content-Disposition: attachment' . (empty($fname) ? '' : ';filename="'.$fname.'"')); echo $filecontents; exit(); This results in these headers being sent: Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Length: ### Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="myfile.txt" Note that the "filename" part in the last line must be enclosed in double quotation marks to be recognized by all browsers (AFAIK the RFC doesn't dictate this but some browsers may require it...) -- >O Ernest E.
