note 51423 added to ref.pdf

This was originally posted by mat3582 at NOSPAM dot hotmail dot com on the Session Handling Functions manual page, however as it is pdf specific I hope that moving it here will make it easier for others to find. I fought this for longer than I'd care to admit after a web server distros switch before discovering my problem was session related and subsequently discovering Mat's post. // Mats Note: Outputting a pdf file to a MSIE browser didn't work (MSIE mistook the file for an Active-X control, then failed to download) untill I added <?php ini_set('session.cache_limiter',"0"); ?> to my script. I hope this will help someone else. // End Mats Note In addition to Mat's suggestion the php.ini file can also be edited to add/change the session.cach_limiter setting to 0. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51423 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51423&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51423&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51423&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51423&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51423&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51423&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
