Re: File download

Hi,

        I believe your problem is related to the fact that you use "unknown" in your content-type header. This forces IE to search for an application to open the file of "unknown" type. Have you tried any other content-types?

For more info on content-types, see the HTTP1.1 RFC: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17 Olivier Hubert

Hi, I'm using following code to download a file. IE5 shows the Open/Save dialogue, if I select 'Save", it works. But if I select "Open", it again shows the same dialog with the name of my .php file. Now if I say open, it opens a blank file. Can anybody help me?

        header("Content-type: unknown");
        header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name;");
        readfile($name);
