Hello! I have a PDF-File, which the user should download (it should not
open in the browser, even if the Adobe-Reader-Pluging is installed). I
use:
$filename = $DOCUMENT_ROOT."/".$QUERY_STRING;
$fd = fopen ($filename, "rb");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$savename");
echo $contents;
This doesn't work in IE (Version 6, 5 is not tested yet): When I get the
download-box and I choose "open" instead of "save", the download-box
opens again! Then pressing "open", everything is okay, but why is the
box opened twice?

Thanx, but it doesn't work, too, on IE.
Another effect is, that Netscape now opens it in the broser window instead
of downloding it.
