Re: Forcing Download of a .jpg file in IE

Just send a different Content-Type: header. header('Content-Type: application/x-download'); /* Whatever */ readfile('your.jpeg.file.jpg'); IE is also stupid, so if it sees the .jpg on the end of the file, so the end of your URL should be something like .bin, or .something that IE doesn't recognise. -jeremy Jeremy Brand :: Sr. Software Engineer :: 408-245-9058 :: jeremy@nirvani.net http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - THIS SPACE FOR SALE - - - NO JOKE Get your own Free, Private email at http://www.smackdown.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - On Thu, 30 Nov 2000, kansast@mac.com wrote: > Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 00:09:12 -0600 > From: "kansast@mac.com" <kansast@mac.com> > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Forcing Download of a .jpg file in IE > > Sorry to ask this, because I know it's been discussed probably in detail in > the mailing list.
