RE: [PHP] passthru Problems

I believe there is header called "Content-disposition: filename.pdf" which is defined in the proper RFC. And as far as I know some browsers don't respect it. Search the list for it, you should find allot of info.

This is the situation: I have a bunch of PDF files on my server directory. I show the user a listing of the PDF files they can view, and allow them to hyperlink click on the PDF they wish to browse. When the user clicks the link, I execute a header() and then my passthru on my PDF file. The code is essentially: header("Content-type: application/pdf"); passthru($pdf_file); Now, my problem is that the title of the HTML window that pops up is of the URL path. I want to set the title to something meaningful (like the name of the PDF file the user is looking at). But, if I try to print a "<TITLE>PDF File</TITLE>" after the header, my PDF document does not show up (it shows the raw encoding of the PDF document). Does anyone have any suggestions to allow me to show a title on a header/passthru page? Is there a better way to do this?
