Re: forcing upload instead of showing doc

I use this code: header("Content-Type: $filetype"); header("Content-Disposition: atachment; filename=$showfilename"); header("Content-Length: $filesize"); readfile($source); Note the mispelling of "atachment". This seems wrong but is actually the correct spelling for IE, Netscape doesn't seem to mind either way. --Toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wieger Uffink" <wieger@usmedia.nl> To: <lemming@vento.com.br> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 12:07 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] forcing upload instead of showing doc > 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 > > > > .
