1.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you're creating a download page for Internet Explorer, the following code works: if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) && preg_match("/MSIE/", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { // IE Bug in download name workaround ini_set( 'zlib.output_compression','Off' ); } header('Content-type: ' . $file['type']); header("Pragma: public"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $file['filename'] . '"'); print($file['data']); I will note that setting content length or size headers will cause IE to see the file being opened/saved as 0 bytes and will on occasion open the content of the file in the browser itself after the download fails. I also recieved file not found problems until I added the Pragma and Cache-Control headers. Yet another one of those "Thanks Bill" situations. --james this is the solution which i found on PHP.NET site... on http://in.php.net/header page.... try this out.. if u r working on IE.... 2.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> second suggestion.. is .. that rather than putting up data into the session variable.. why don't u run the query and fetch data in the viewarticlespage.php --- Roderick Ramos® <roderick_ramos@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I guess this yahoogroup does not allow attachments. > Please allow me to copy and paste the codes below. > Kindly check.
