Note Submitter: joakim@locotech.fi ---- There's been a lot of talk about the .php -extension being added to the file while forcing downloads to a Mozilla Client. I had the same problem and followed all the documented suggestions found here. Still, nothing seemed to work. I added the slash before the "?" in the url: send.php/?send=7 and so forth. Then I discovered the last file worked, but not the three first ones in my list of downloadables. This is because there are scandinavian chars "ä" and "ö" (a and o -umlauts) in the first three filenames. So naturally I wrote a quick fix to replace those chars if "Gecko" is found in the user_agent variable and now it works: $user_agent=${"HTTP_USER_AGENT"}; if (strpos($user_agent,"Gecko")) $filename=str_replace ("ö","o",str_replace("ä","a",strtolower($filename))); $file="files/$send"; header("Content-type: octet/stream\n"); header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n"); $head="Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename."\n"; header($head); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file)); readfile($file); exit; I am also changing the filename to lowercase so that I don't have to check for large Ä:s and Ö:s. Yes, I am lazy. :) Hope this helps. -Joakim
