That did it, thanks...

Ok, my knowledge about HTTP is not the best. But how can you send three
different content-type headers? :)

There ya go:
// fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue
	header("Pragma: public");
	header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
         header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, 
pre-check=0");
         // browser must download file from server instead of cache

         // force download dialog
         header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
         header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
         header("Content-Type: application/download");

         // use the Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended 
filename and
         // force the browser to display the save dialog.
         header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$path.";");

         header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

         header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));

         readfile($file);
