Hello! I have a PDF-File, which the user should download (it should not
open in the browser, even if the Adobe-Reader-Pluging is installed). I
use:
$filename = $DOCUMENT_ROOT."/".$QUERY_STRING;
$fd = fopen ($filename, "rb");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$savename");
echo $contents;
This doesn't work in IE (Version 6, 5 is not tested yet): When I get the
download-box and I choose "open" instead of "save", the download-box
opens again! Then pressing "open", everything is okay, but why is the
box opened twice?
