If you just want to force a download use the header() function to set the Content-type to be application/octet-stream. http://www.ksa-123.com http://www.ksa-2000.com http://www.chat-kuwait.com http://www.vip-kuwait.com http://www.chat-3rb.com http://www.vip-3rb.com http://www.3rb-chat.com http://www.vipgulf.com http://www.chat-gulf.com http://www.vip-gulf.com Internet Explorer's MIME-type support is broken, so it does not react to the above. However, if you in addition use the Content-Disposition header you can also force MSIE 5 to download the file. This header also allows you to specify a filename. This works in both Netscape and MSIE 5. header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"myfile.abc\""); One item of note is that IE 5 will not download the file if the filetype is html or text. IE will display the file in the browser rather than bringing up the file-save-as dialog. I have found a way to "force" IE to bring up the file-save-as dialog. It seems that the problem with the above example is that IE uses "sniffing" to determine the mime type if you specify octet- stream. Even if you use the Content-Disposition header. However Microsoft did put in a way to disallow this "sniffing". If you specify a mime type which is not immediately recognized, but which appears to be valid then IE will accept this mime-type without sniffing and handle the Content-Disposition header properly. In my code I specified header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"myfile.abc\""); This correctly forced IE to download the file instead of displaying it and still functions correctly in Netscape. http://www.ksa-123.com http://www.ksa-2000.com http://www.chat-kuwait.com http://www.vip-kuwait.com http://www.chat-3rb.com http://www.vip-3rb.com http://www.3rb-chat.com http://www.vipgulf.com http://www.chat-gulf.com http://www.vip-gulf.com
