You're overwriting that line with: header("Content-disposition: attachment"); http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php By default, if you supply two headers of the same type, you're overwriting the first with the last (see the second parameter of header()). I don't know if there's configure setting that changes that behavior, but if I run your code on my server, the ONLY Content-disposition header I get is: Content-disposition: attachment I do not get the other one that sets the filename. kgt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
