I know this has been addressed before, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever found a
solution.
The code:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Length: '. filesize($file_info['full_file_path']));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' .
$file_info['filename'] . '"');
header('Connection: close');
readfile($file_info['full_file_path']);
The problem: When downloading certain files on a Mac using IE 5.x, files are
displayed within a browser window instead of downloading. This seems to occur mostly
with quicktime files (.mov, .mp3). Some quicktime files work, while others with the
same extension do not. BTW, after doing some research I changed this:
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' .
$file_info['filename'] . '"');
to this:
header('Content-Disposition: filename="' .
$file_info['filename'] . '"');
but it did not help. I've also tried several other iterations of the above to no
avail.
Problem #2: if I change the first header to:
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
a save-as dialog box comes up, but it does not carry-through the file name of the file
being downloaded - instead it sets the default file name to the name of the script
that's being executed (i.e. download_file.php).
Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated.
