Re: Send out correct headers for word document

Andrey, Thanks, I am currently trying this: header( "Content-type: application/ms-word" ); #header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=cv-984.doc" ); #header( "Content-Description: Word CV Document" ); readfile ($tmp); With the #'d sections or without, either does not work and I still just get a garbage output. Any ideas?
