RE: [PHP] File Download IE behavior

If you want it to automatically be saved to disk, send the header("Content-type: octet/stream"); If there is a problem with the open I would think its on the client side since theres nothing mor the server can do but specify a content type. -----Original Message----- From: Warren Vail [mailto:warren@availabletech.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 7:50 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] File Download IE behavior When generating a download file from PHP to IE (Netscape is not used by my client base) the browser prompts with an option to download the file or open the file where it is. Opening the file fails and I am forced to download the file to my local drive before receiving another prompt to open the file where the second Open works just fine. Is there a way to allow this first open to work, or cause the open option on the first download window to be removed?
