Scratch that - I have found out that it is octet-stream that I need.
However, using code as follows:
if (strstr ($dt->table[0][1], ".zip")) header ("Content-Type:
application/x-zip-compressed");
else header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: ".filesize ($SITE_ROOT.$dt->table[0][1]));
header ("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=".str_replace
("/files/",
"", $dt->table[0][1]));
readfile ($SITE_ROOT.$dt->table[0][1]);
(where $dt->table[0][1] is the filename.)
When I run this code for an exe file, the application name has a [1] put in
the middle of it - e.g. filename is "DelayCalculator-v1.0.exe", results in
"DelayCalculator-v.1[1].0.exe".
I am running on PHP4.2.1 on Apache 1.3.24 and browsing the page with IE6
