RE: [PHP] Forcing Download of a .jpg file in IE

The correct way to ask a browser to offer to save the file for the user, rather than display it inline, is via the Content-Disposition header (RFC2183). You would do it like this: Header ("Content-Type: image/jpeg"); /* Content-Length is not necessary, but if you supply it, the user will see how * big the file is, and, presumably, how far they are into the download */ Header ("Content-Length: " . $contentlength); Header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=suggestedfilename.jpg"); readfile("myimage.jpg"); Hope this helps.

I have tried to search, and collect notes on this but have yet to find a solution, and now I'm under a tight deadline. I'm wanting to provide a link on a web page, which would force a user's browser to download a .jpg file specifically a user running IE 5 on the MacOS. currently I have a solution which works in other browsers, and if I change the preferences in IE 5 on the MacOS I can get it to work. But the client doesn't like that option.
