Hmmm. So you have a PHP script that sets the mimetype correctly and then outputs straight PDF data, but the user's browser does not accept it as a PDF because the extension of the script is PHP? I find that strange.
It's rare but it does happen. We suspect it's a behavior exhibited by certain browsers in combination with certain firewall settings, or something like that.
If you can't find a better solution (something weird is going on in my mind) maybe a work-around is mod_rewrite? You could link to the PHP script with a PDF extension and then rewrite it to the PHP extension behind the scenes.
I'll look into that. Thanks for the tip. - Lewis
