Note Submitter: ---- Trying to use readfile() along with the header() for downloading the file. It work fine for downloading. But with opening the file while downloading for IE, it blow up. So, instead of using the readfile(), use fopen, fread, fclose instead and this fix the problem for IE. --snip-- $file="test.exe"; header ("Pragma: public"); header ("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header ("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header ("Content-Type: application/download"); header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test_different_name.exe;"); header ("Content-Length: ".filesize($file)); header ("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); //readfile($file); //$content = fread ($fp, filesize($file)); //fclose ($fp); //print $content; $fp = fopen($file, 'rb'); $content = fread ($fp, filesize($file)); fclose ($fp); print $content; exit(); --snip--
