Re: [PHP] File Download link not working in PHP 4.3.4
Curt,
Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, no luck
yet. Here's the current version of the affected lines
of code:
$file_type = "vnd.ms-excel";
$file_ending = "xls";
header ( "Content-Type: application/$file_type" );
header ( 'Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="product.'.$file_ending.'"' );
header ( 'Expires: ' . date ( 'r', 0 ));
Still getting the same behavior, on both the Windows
and Solaris platforms.

This can mean a lot of things, IE tends to be too friendly
sometimes.

Quote the filename, although it most likley wont be the problem.
Conent-Type: attachment; filename="product.xls"
> header ( "Expires: 0" );
I might wage this is the problem, it needs to be a valid HTTP date,
something like this will do the job:
header('Expires: ' . date('r', 0);

[PHP] File Download link not working in PHP 4.3.4
I have a script that dynamically generates a CSV file for downloading to MS Excel. The script works fine in PHP 4.3.3 on a Windows machine using Apache 2, and the exact same script does not work in PHP 4.3.4 on Solaris 9 using Apache 1.3.29. A script with essentially the same header commands works in PHP 4.3.1 on Solaris 9 using Apache 1.3.27. The script is supposed to pop up a window to prompt the user to either open the document from its current location or save it to disk. On the systems that work, the window pops up with the expected file name. On the system that does not work, the window pops up with the URL for the script that generates the file instead of the file name. When the "OK" button is clicked, an error dialog pops up with the message "Internet Explorer cannot download ... [snipped URL]. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." Here are the header commands: $file_type = "vnd.ms-excel"; $file_ending = "xls"; header ( "Content-Type: application/$file_type" ); header ( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=product.".$file_ending ); header ( "Expires: 0" ); header ( "Connection: Keep-Alive" ); Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
