When trying to download a Binary from MySQL via the browser, Mozilla will add an extra '.php' extention to the fileName. [installer.exe.php -- instead of -- installer.exe] A simple workaround or patch I found was by passing the fileName in the download URL. For example: http://www.mydomain.com/download.php?installer.exe Instead of simply using: http://www.mydomain.com/download.php Don't forget to use the appropriate headers too; header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="installer.exe"'); Have fun!... :-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40989 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40989&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40989&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
