Hi everyone,
I want to dump some data from mysql into a file, and use php to force the browser to
pop a download file window. This seems a simple procedure, but I am having trouble to
make it work with IE. The following is what I did:
********************************
ob_start();
$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$result=mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['data'];
}
header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-Type: application/txt");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt);
//Note: I also tried: header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=test.txt);
ob_end_flush();
*********************************
It seems OK with Netscape, but with IE, all I got is all data displayed on the screen
even with ob_start(). I also tried "echo" the data after "header()", I have the same
result. I have spent a long time on this, and searched for information on
www.php.net, but can not find an answer. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ruth
