Re: Accessing pdf file thru php

Hi, I have the same problem going on. I have tried IE on Windows 98, 2000 and Netscape on Linux, 98 without any difference. I can't check it because using https and sessions, but can anyone try to use wget with the -s option to see what is going on the headers? Also might be useful to see what PHP are u running. Mine PHP4.0.3pl1 on Linux+Apache Sean C. McCarthy SCI, S.L. (www.sci-spain.com) PS: I know I should upgrade when having funny problems, but actually we are almost finishing a project a we cant stop to recompile and reinstall.
