Question

I have a problem with ie8 As ALWAYS. its not downloading rtf files i uploaded to server by my script. its saving in the database correctly

My download script is in php

$outname = stripslashes($attachment[0]['dis_attach_content']);
$type = stripslashes($attachment[0]['dis_attach_type']);

$name = stripslashes($attachment[0]['dis_attach_name']);
header("Content-type:" . $type);

header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $name);
echo($outname);
exit;

This is giving the error:

Answer 1

You can try to force the download:

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

Note; you should consider sending more headers:

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0"); 
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header("Content-Type: $type");
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));          
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
