I have written this code to export data to a text file and asks user to save generated file. It works with Firefox perfectly, but IE shows content of file instead of prompting the download window. How can I force IE to show the download dialog? <?php Header("Content-disposition: attachement; filename=data.txt"); Header("Content-type: text/plain"); echo $some_data; ?> -- Ali Asghar Torabi
