Note Submitter: simon.lee@terago.ca ---- Additional notes to my workaround on Q266305: I have tested my findings with PDF, XLS, DOC and ZIP. However JPG and GIF didn't make IE pop up the download box. By changing content type from "octet-stream" to "force-download" (or some undefined type), it will work. Of course, we need to take care of other browsers too. Here is the improved code, hope it helps: header("Content-type: application/force-download"); if (strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "MSIE")) header("Content-Disposition: filename=$myfile" . "%20"); // For IE else header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$myfile"); // For Other browsers Note: If you are using session together with this download, you will need to add the following line BEFORE the code above to make IE work: session_cache_limiter("");
