Forcing renaming of download file (want output from a php file being saved as some particular file by browser) Hello I have a php file abc.php which outputs some data (which it collects from a database somhow). Now I want to force a download/open dialogue box and to give a name to the file in which the browser will store that date. Forcing a download is easy, but how can I tell the browser to name that file to something particular, say data1.txt Is there a header for that? One way around would be to store the data in a temporary file accessible to that user and then redirect the browser to that file. But there might be a better and more secure way.
