Re: [PHP] [PHP Header] Right-Click Download in Firefox showing php filename

I am trying to have users download a file named 'Setup.msi', however

header(Content-Length: . filesize('Setup.msi'));
readfile('Setup.msi');

content-disposition controls what the browser should do with the file
you're sending (open it or save it).
filename suggests what the file should be saved as on the local
system, when downloading as an attachment
content-type is the mime-type of the file you're sending

Re: [PHP] [PHP Header] Right-Click Download in Firefox showing php filename
Thanks everyone. I looked into the Firefox browser forums/support and
found that the Right-Click Save Link As does not send the header
response, as it will take the file as-is. So in this example, it sees
the 'download.php' and then takes that as the default name. It then
starts the download of the file, which in turn gets the header
information and starts downloading the 'Setup.msi'... but now under
the name of 'download.php' -- Again to note in IE the Right-Click will
get the header information including the Content-Disposition and THEN
open the Save As window. In all browsers, the Left-Click works as
normal as it processes the header information.
My solution: With mod_rewrite under Apache. I know rewrite the
'download.php' file as default of 'ApplicationSetup.msi' -- So IF
Right-Clicked in FF, the user defaults the link with the proper
extension to Save As. Otherwise if Left-Clicked, the rewrite will run
the 'download.php' and then prompt with the correct MSI with version
number (as intended) : 'ApplicationSetup_v1_0.msi'
Otherwise with all the other header information, it works fine.. its
just the browsers that DO NOT get the header info on a Right-Click
Save As on objects, as they prompt to save in location BEFORE header
info is sought.

[PHP] [PHP Header] Right-Click Download in Firefox showing php filename
I followed some of the examples that was on PHP header() http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php I am trying to have users download a file named 'Setup.msi', however under a PHP file with the sent header information, the default name to the user will be 'ApplicationSetup_v1_0.msi' -- I am sending the recommended header information in the notes. For example in my 'download.php': $forcename = ApplicationSetup_v1_0.msi; $filename = Setup.msi; header(Content-Type: application/force-download); header(Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=.$forcename); header(Content-Type: application/octetstream; name=.$forcename); header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary); header(Content-Length: .filesize($filename)); @readfile($filename); When I LEFT-CLICK the 'download.php' link in Internet Explorer 6/7 and Firefox 2/3, it defaults the download name to the variable that I want it changed to ($forcename). When I RIGHT-CLICK in Internet Explorer 6/7, it also works. However when I RIGHT-CLICK the link in Firefox 2/3, it downloads the file as 'download.php' and not the specified name and .msi extension (I can still rename to the .msi extension and it works fine). Am I missing another header or is there known issue for Firefox right-click Save Link As... and default the name to something else? Or should I contact Firefox on this to get more information to default the name to something different?
