Hi Friends,
This is tejash patel.
I am getting problem in downloading documents using "header".
On click of download button the page is called itself.
I wrote the following code.

$fp = fopen($name, "rb");
header("Content-type: application/x-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: $download_size");
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);
exit;

This code is work fine in firefox mozila.
But in IE it creates problem. When is ask for download if i click on "Open" instead of "Save" then it will again as for "Save" or "Open". Now click on open, it will opent the document.

If anyone of your guys have solution of this problem then please reply me as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I am having the same problem with a similar script.. I don't think it's a big deal so I just ignored it!

maybe someone else knows a solution for this.

Try adding this code to your script. This should avoid IE errors!
Yes, both are left in blank, but to me it seems like this is how it works!

PHP Code:

 header("Cache-Control: ");

 header("Pragma: "); 

[Nico]

This could may fix the error as well. Add this before sending the headers!

PHP Code:

if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "MSIE")){

    $file = preg_replace('/\./', '%2e', $file, substr_count($file, '.') - 1);

}
