Re: downloading a file using headers

Hi Amanda,

I have a page that queries the database then uses the data to build an excel spreasheet. THat spreadsheet is downloaded according to info in the headers. My manager wants to put the page inside of another HTML page to make it prettier, but then it breaks because headers are already written (it's included in the other HTML page). It works fine on it's own, but he really wants it in that page. He wants to know if there is a way to trick it into working. Any ideas? I can post the code if necessary, but it's loooong and messy.

You can use output buffering, have a look at http://www.php.net/ref.outcontrol Mehdi
