note 36033 added to function.header

Forcing a browser to download a text document is not easy to do correctly, especially on both Macs and PCs. This was found to download a text file (not display it inline) on Internet Explorer, Navigator, and Mozilla on a PC running Windows 95, and Macs running OS9.1 and OSX. <?php $Buffer='This is some file content'; header('Content-type: text/richtext; charset=UTF-8'); header('Content-Length: '.strlen($Buffer) ); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="SalesReport.txt"'); echo $Buffer; ?> All headers are required for maximum portability. Notice that even this is incorrect, as Macs may treat files oddly, since they are declared as RTFs. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36033 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36033&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36033&report=yes
