Opera and Mozilla generate and download just fine. IE (tried 6 and 7) throw message:
---
Internet Explorer cannot download index.php?pid=download from www.mysite.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.
---
Do you have ideas what is the reason IE cant get the file from stream? |

I had the same problem.
Use this headers:
header ("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($export_file) . "\"" );
readfile($export_file);
exit; |

Use this code:
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($export_file).";");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($export_file));
readfile($export_file);
exit; |

easy answer...
all the code headers and everything else the other guys said is 100% correct... only problem in IE is; it won't allow BUTTONS to activate the download... so you need to convert it to a <a href=...> link. |

| I'm using the headers as suggested. IE pops up the warning banner about downloading a file, but the file never downloads. |

| I inserted the header statements suggested by argo naut. IE no longer throws errors, but I never get the file downloaded...even though the IE warning banner tells me the site is trying to download a file. Probably some obscure setting in IE, but can't find it. |

$file = "name_of_file.xls";
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file).";");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
Work´s fine! =)) |
