You're overwriting that line with:
header("Content-disposition: attachment");
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
By default, if you supply two headers of the same type, you're
overwriting the first with the last (see the second parameter of
header()). I don't know if there's configure setting that changes that
behavior, but if I run your code on my server, the ONLY
Content-disposition header I get is:
Content-disposition: attachment
I do not get the other one that sets the filename.
