Re: forcing upload instead of showing doc

It didn't work at all. It started a download, but with a filename called myscriptfilename.html and with the contents of the html (in this case the form) being shown and not the output. I want to set these headers, and then do regular echo statements to this newly created downloading file. >Hi, > > ><? // file to post to >header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); >header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=name.doc"); >include("file.doc"); >?> > >Wieger > >Christian Dechery wrote: >> >> How do I force an output to be recognized by the browser by a downloadable >> text file as soon as I press the submit button? >> >> what header(*) stuff should I add before echo-ing stuff? >> >> thanks >> >> .
