OK, Thanks everyone for trying to help me out. I think I have "fixed" it. All I've done was: inside a function repeating on each row I changed - if($int) return "<FONT COLOR=\"#FF0000\">$good</FONT>"; with - if($int) return "<FONT COLOR=\"#FF0000\">$good</FONT> "; ...and it worked.... In this way there's more data and different file size is being sent to the browser. I wish I new why.... why it worked ... what was the problem... My only guess - packets. Something was wrong with pockets, or file size... the file size differs now, and it works... Geez.... I will investigate on this. This is just too funny to forget about. IE is so buggy....

On my Mac all works fine, on my Win2K I usually use Opera 5 identified as MSIE and it works as well. Proxy, nope I go behind it. Some go thru... the problem stays no matter what. Security settings? again, makes no sense, I think, most of the users having this problem have never touched Internet Options. server? no SSL, nothing... accessible internally, behind firewall. I wonder what is the problem of Explorer in terms of compatibility with headers, flushes and other PHP Functions directly influencing browsers. I've seen that error (from different machines, locations but always on MSIE5*) on a whole bunch of websites running on PHP, including PHP.net. And now that I think, these usually were databases etc... Like function reference on PHP.net I know that what I am saying doesn't really make much sense - PHP is on server and a browser is on client side. I just wonder if there can be some other details.... something with web server ?...

Since I can't get to your URL I can only give ideas :) Did you try to upgrade the IE on one of the computers to IE5.5 and see if the problem goes away? Do you use a proxy? Are your security settings set to default? Sincerely berber Visit http://www.weberdev.com Today!!!

The funny thing is that the error sometimes goes away (I am frenetically refreshing the page) but in most cases stays. It never happened here before. Just from yesterday, or today .. not sure. Error logs report nothing at all. Cheers, Maxim Maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Maxim Maletsky Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 4:21 PM To: 'Boaz Yahav'; 'PHP General List.

It is not "Connection could not established" troubleshooted by MS KBase as -- click TCP/IP ... then click advanced .... This is "Download of specified resource has failed" persisting on every machine in this office. (Win2k running MSIE 5.01 only). I wonder if IE finds something interesting between the pockets received and then breaks file download without seeing EOF. What so funny do I output?... ths is the question.

One of our internal databases receives inputs from all kind of different places and stores them for later reviews. Since it's creation it was all going perfectly well, but now it has a little problem: The Internet Explorer gives me this error while listing one of databases' tables: (it is a pop up message of internet explorer) ---- Internet Explorer Cannot Open the internet site http://that.damn.db/database.php <http://that.damn.db/database.php> ?db=opp_post The download of the specified resource has filed. ---- What is it, PHP or IE? I suppose something is wrong with IE (5.01 for instance), but so far couldn't come with any solution. The output is simply not there, source shows cuted off at the very beginning of file - after few hundreds of bytes. This suggests me that one of the entries in Database is somehow corrupting IE. But I have not found anything strange. What to look for, guys? I tested it on Opera and Netscape - no probs whatsoever. I also tested it on Linux, and Mac (Opera, Netscape) - no probs whatsoever. ...and (listen to this one)... I tested it on Mac, MSIE 5.(01)? (just the version I have on my Win2k) -- and It gave me no errors at all. Why MSIE 5.01 of Win2k gives that message and breaks download? I've seen this messages already while browsing the web, and that's the reason I'm asking you: anyone had to fix that before? What are your guesses on my problem? It is quite urgent since the database is not usable and I don't have much time for researches on this issue. The sad thing is that our office uses the exactly same configured machines (MSIE5 - Win2k) and no one can view the database from their PCs. All the sales and coordinators are staying here in line near my MAC while I am writing you this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
