note 36325 added to function.readfile

Hi To force a download on MSIE for Windows, you don't have to use "attachment", but you need it for all other browsers. The correct code for that is then: <?php $filename=""; // the name the file will have on client computer $file_to_download=""; // the name the file has on the server (or an FTP or HTTP request) $user_agent = strtolower ($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]); header( "Content-type: application/force-download" ); if ((is_integer (strpos($user_agent, "msie"))) && (is_integer (strpos($user_agent, "win")))) { header( "Content-Disposition: filename=".$filename); } else { header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="$filename); } header( "Content-Description: File Transfert"); @readfile($file_to_download); ?> This code work properly on Windows (MSIE, Netscape, Mosilla, Opera) and Mac (MSIE, Netscape). For the Mac, there is a little problem: if the file is recognized by the OS, it will open it and not force save to disk. To prevent this, ask your clients to use "save link to disk" and not click on it. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36325 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36325&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36325&report=yes Search Tool -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
