Maybe not - while I have had no problems with PHP, one of the applications I wrote with PHP produced a file type 'PRN' (a column formatted table of values). IE5.0 seemed to ignore the mime type specified even if I rolled my own headers - with other browsers, the type, which was not registered on the browser caused it to give a download dialog - IE5.0 decided that it was a text file and it was going to show it in place. The solution was to setup the type in IE5.0, although the problem is that IE5.0 uses really bad / non-standard mime type handling. Is it the output it is displaying (as my problem) or your script (in which case it probably is your server types need tweaking) HTH Colin
