The following code has been working for about 6 years. The only
change I am aware of is that now it is being served from a server
requiring SSL to access it.
header("Content-type: $type");
header("Content-length: $size");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$name\"");
echo $data;
It still works in FF, so I assume the variables are being filled in.
For example:
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-length: 75485");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"test.pdf\"");
In DebugBar HTTP(S) after the GET request which had to be authorized
by htaccess it reports:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 22 May 2009 14:38:18 GMT
Server: Apache/2.0.50 (Fedora)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.6
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=743ba4d8e056873c4da52b123df4b1ad; path=/

Content-length: 7359
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.pdf"
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/pdf
Should "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" be "HTTPS/1.1 200 OK"? If so, how can I get
that set? Is there some funky header I need?
Oh, the IE 7 error is:
Internet Explorer cannot download my_php_file.php?a_name=a_value from
my.site.com.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The
requested site is either unavailable or cannot be
found. Please try again later.
FYI: If the user cannot choose a filename to save as, it gets saved as
"my_php_file.php" which needs to be renamed to extension ".pdf" to be
viewed in a PDF viewer.
So if you have any helpful headers to force the filename, I'd
appreciate that too. Apparently Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="test.pdf" doesn't work (on FF and maybe other browsers).
There is an issue with Internet Explorer 6
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=816037 that seems to relate, but
this is for IE 7, and I can't verify if it is also failing on IE 6.
But I found this (which didn't work for me)
