Hi,

>header("Content-type: application/download");

try this:

Header("Content-Type: application/x-octet-stream");

It always worked for me...

good luck,

Sebastian

thanks man... that actually worked out... now the file is in perfect ascii 
mode just the way I wanted it.

Thanks a lot!

tried it... doesn't work.

if I change to 'text/plain' the download doesn't occur... it shows the 
output on screen...

the man page for header() says look here:

I think you'd need to change this to:

header("Content-type: text/plain");

but I could be wrong...

Not sure.  I find bits and pieces in this list...

[PHP] download successfull... but in binary... why?

[Christian Dechery]

I got my script to successfully force the otuput to be redirected to a download
of a new file.

using:

if(stristr($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"MSIE"))
$att="";
else
$att=" attachment;";
header("Content-type: application/download");
header("Content-disposition:".$att." filename=".$filename);

but the problem is, the output is comming as binary... so the '\n' is not
working, instead it'comming as a one giant line with lots of weird chars
instead of '\n'... how do I force it to be in ASCII mode?

and where can I find reference on these header stuff?
