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? Martin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
