RE: [PHP-WIN] saving images which have been assigned a strange name

I've got the same problem with IE 4.01, so I looked for it at MIcrosoft and I got: According to RFC 2183, servers should be able to force a Save-As type dialog box by sending a "Content-Disposition: attachment" server response header to the client when sending the requested file back to the browser. Because of a bug (or "feature") in Internet Explorer's data-sniffing architecture, this header is mostly ignored in Internet Explorer 4.01. See Knowledge Base article BUG: Content-Disposition: Does not Force File Download Dialog <http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/gosupport.asp?TARGET=/support/kb/articles/q182/3/15.asp> At the moment I never made test using IE 5, probably, I'll run it in future.

Not if you send out the correct headers: header("Content-Type: $mimetype"; header("Content-Length: $filelength"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename"); Cheers -- Phil Driscoll Dial Solutions +44 (0)113 294 5112 http://www.dialsolutions.com http://www.dtonline.org -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-windows-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-windows-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
