I'd think (as a user) if you use the terminology 'download' for the

header if possible (so it doesn't try to view it).
how would you code this force download?
dwain
This is what I use:
$type = $_GET['type'];
$fileName = $_GET['filename'] . "." . $type;
$mimeType = "application/$type";
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE 5') or
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Opera 7')) $mimeType =
'application/x-download';
header("content-disposition: attachment; filename = \"$fileName\"");
header("content-type: {$mimeType}");
readfile($fileName);
where the link would be download.php?filename=mypdf&type=pdf
