note 64153 added to function.header

Internet Explorer will not accept certain filenames in the filename attribute of the Content-Disposition header. It will Sit 'N Spin until it finally times out. The following will not work when $fn contains "Web", "Browser" or "WebBrowser" (or any case variation thereof): $fn = $row["sFilename"]; $fs = $row["lFileSize"]; header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fn"); header("Content-length: $fs"); echo $row["blobData"]; Guess I should have looked here first. Yes, it does seem we're all searching for workarounds for IE. -SHAWN- ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 24.14.81.37 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/64153 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64153/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64153/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64153/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64153/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64153/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64153/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64153 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/64153 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
