note 87449 added to function.header

If using the 'header' function for the downloading of files, especially if you're passing the filename as a variable, remember to surround the filename with double quotes, otherwise you'll have problems in Firefox as soon as there's a space in the filename. So instead of typing: <?php header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . basename($filename)); ?> you should type: <?php header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($filename) . "\""); ?> If you don't do this then when the user clicks on the link for a file named "Example file with spaces.txt", then Firefox's Save As dialog box will give it the name "Example", and it will have no extension. See the page called "Filenames_with_spaces_are_truncated_upon_download" at http://kb.mozillazine.org/ for more information.
