I use this code:
header("Content-Type: $filetype");
header("Content-Disposition: atachment; filename=$showfilename");
header("Content-Length: $filesize");
readfile($source);
Note the mispelling of "atachment". This seems wrong but is actually the
correct spelling for IE, Netscape doesn't seem to mind either way.
