From: "Nick allan" on 26 Feb 2010 23:32 Hi all Has anyone got any ideas why the following isn't giving me correct filename in the ie save dialogue header('Content-Type: application/msword'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="PurchaseReq.doc"'); I get the save dialogue, but with preq.doc instead of PurchaseReq.doc Preq.php is the calling php file. It has worked before so I'm not sure what I've changed to have it stop working. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Regards Nick

From: "Nick allan" on 27 Feb 2010 07:48 Interesting the following works Changing the " to '. If I leave the ' around the filename, the ' becomes part of the filename. But it seemed to be more about changing the surrounding ' to " that fixed it. Not sure why this is, but its working now. header('Content-Type: application/msword'); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=PurchaseReq.doc"); -----Original Message----- From: Richard Quadling [mailto:rquadling(a)googlemail.com] Sent: Saturday, 27 February 2010 8:45 PM To: Nick allan Cc: php-general(a)lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Header function On 27 February 2010 04:32, Nick allan <nallan(a)wdev.net> wrote: > Hi all > > Has anyone got any ideas why the following isn't giving me correct filename > in the ie save dialogue > > header('Content-Type: application/msword'); > > header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="PurchaseReq.doc"'); > > > > I get the save dialogue, but with preq.doc instead of PurchaseReq.doc > > Preq.php is the calling php file.

It needs double quote marks to function correctly. How do you mean? And do you have a link to this information? Even if this is true, then the first Nick did should still be correct? header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="PurchaseReq.doc"'); I'm using the same headers for downloads, allthough I use double qoutes for the header function aswell: header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"artist - title.mp3\""); -- Kind regards Kim Emax - masterminds.dk
