[PHP] IE download problem

[Luis Lebron]

I am working on a script to force downloading a file. The script works fine
with NS (4.8 and 7) but does not work correctly with IE 6.0
I have looked at examples on php.net and have googled for a solution, but
still can't find a solution. I think IE wants to download the script instead
of the file.

Here's what the code I'm working on looks like:

<?php 
$sender=$_GET["sender"];
$filename=$_GET["filename"];

//Data validation goes here

$filePath="../users/".$sender."/".$filename;
if(file_exists($filePath))
{
  Header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filePath));
  Header("Content-type: application/download");
  Header("Content-Disposition-type: attachment");
  Header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$filename."\"\n");
  Header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
  $fp = fopen($filePath,"rb");
  fpassthru($fp);
} 
?>


The funny thing is that I have a similar script that I use to download an
sql file and it works correctly.
