That way, $this-Registry-property can work as you want. Something PHP is missing is the ability to have __get()/__set()/etc. available on a static class, so you have to have an instance of the class and then all that that entails. Singleton pattern most likely. __getStatic(), __setStatic() (like we have __callStatic() ) would certainly help.

RE: [PHP] Header function
Interesting the following works Changing the to '. If I leave the ' around the filename, the ' becomes part of the filename. But it seemed to be more about changing the surrounding ' to that fixed it. Not sure why this is, but its working now. header('Content-Type: application/msword'); header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=PurchaseReq.doc); -Original Message- From: Richard Quadling [mailto:rquadl...@googlemail.com] Sent: Saturday, 27 February 2010 8:45 PM To: Nick allan Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Header function On 27 February 2010 04:32, Nick allan nal...@wdev.net wrote: Hi all Has anyone got any ideas why the following isn't giving me correct filename in the ie save dialogue header('Content-Type: application/msword'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=PurchaseReq.doc'); I get the save dialogue, but with preq.doc instead of PurchaseReq.doc Preq.php is the calling php file.
