How to simultaneously send HTML *and* start download?

The result I'm looking for is like the CGI script at netscape for downloading NS6 - it takes you to a page which says aomething like "The download should start automatically" and then the download begins. I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this in PHP - I suspect through ignorance of the appropriate HTTP headers. Am I looking for something like Content-type: multipart? So what I'm looking to achieve is a bit like what this obviously fails to do (but hopefuly you can see what I'm aiming at): <?php $fp = fopen("myfile.foo","r"); header("Content-type: application/foo"); header("Content-Disposition: filename=myfile.foo"); fpassthru($fp); fclose($fp); ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Download</title> </head> <body> <p>The download should start automatically. If it does not, right click the following link and choose "Save as ..."</p> <p><a href="myfile.foo">Download MyFile</a></p> </body> </html> Obviously what actually happens with the above is that the HTML after the PHP script is appended to myfile.foo. Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA, Darren -- ====================================================================== D. D.
