note 50992 added to function.header

Just to reiterate Jurgen Westerhof's observation earlier. If you are struggling with IE making a mess of Content-Disposition headers, then switch off zlib.output_compression. If it is enabled, IE tries to use the script name rather than the supplied filename in the Content-Disposition header, with very bizarre (and totally useless) results. if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) && preg_match("/MSIE/", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { // IE Bug in download name workaround ini_set( 'zlib.output_compression','Off' ); } header( 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' ); header( 'Content-Size: $fileSize ); header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$fileName\""); @readfile($filepath); Finally worked for me. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50992 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50992&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50992&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50992&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50992&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50992&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50992&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
