Regarding IE choking on PHP-based "downloads" over SSL: problem is that you set "no-cache" and Internet Explorer interprets this to mean "never save to disk. EVER. Even if user explicitly asks for it.". It doesn't distinguish between caching stuff and user-requested save actions. Dumb, I know. There's at least 3 or 4 Microsoft KB articles related to the issue; google "internet explorer ssl download fails" for more than you ever wanted to know. Try removing the no-cache directive. And, if like I found, that *STILL* doesn't fix it, check to see if you are using PHP sessions anywhere - if you are, it also sets no-cache, so you need to use session_cache_limiter() to get rid of it there. I hope this note saves someone the 2 days of hair-pulling I went through. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48060 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48060&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48060&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48060&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48060&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48060&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48060&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48060&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
