Re: Re: IE download problem

Oh, so you're actively trying to trick IE, are you? Why don't you provide the proper image/jpeg MIME type? And why do you add a newline character at the end of the MIME type? (As previously asked before.) Bogdan Luis Lebron wrote:

Could the problem be the associations stored in the windows system

I've had problems trying to download files whose name ends in a suffix

that

is registered as being associated with a given program (i.e. .txt with notepad, .doc with word). I believe that IE tries to open the file in the registered application and Netscape doesn't always do that (could be wrong here, but that's how it seemed to me).

I am working on a script to force downloading a file. The script works

fine

with NS (4.8 and 7) but does not work correctly with IE 6.0 I have looked at examples on php.net and have googled for a solution, but still can't find a solution. I think IE wants to download the script

instead

of the file. Here's what the code I'm working on looks like: <?php $sender=$_GET["sender"]; $filename=$_GET["filename"]; //Data validation goes here $filePath="../users/".$sender."/".$filename; if(file_exists($filePath)) { Header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filePath)); Header("Content-type: application/download"); Header("Content-Disposition-type: attachment"); Header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$filename."\"\n"); Header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); $fp = fopen($filePath,"rb"); fpassthru($fp); } ?> The funny thing is that I have a similar script that I use to download an sql file and it works correctly.
