File creation problem

Recommended Posts

I have a site that insurance agents will be using, alot of them use a program that is installed locally on their machines, the files that program uses have a .dat extension. I am trying to reverse engineer these files to create them via php and pass to the program with the data on my website. I can successfully do this testing it locally, but when I try to upload the code and do it, it opens the program but no data is passed through. Maybe a head problem?

 

<?php
header( 'Content-Type:text/octet-stream');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); 
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="client.dat"');
?>
"0","0","0","0032367"
"1","37","1","Clients Name","1234 Clients Address","City","11111","43","","53","111-111-1111","4","4","CA - FSC RATER","03/31/2009","1041","37","","","","","42111 Blah Way","City","Zip","0","w","none","0","1","0","0","0","0.00","0.00","0","0","0","03/31/2009","P","","0","0","0","0","0","0" 

 

the file data is actually pretty long so I just included a snippet. I have tried the heredoc method as well and it doesnt work either. what kills me is that it populates the data no problem on my local apache/php setup, just not on my hosted site.
