Hey guys, Have the following code below which used to work in ie and firefox but now only works in firefox. its very strange. basically im executing the below code in a popup that open up a file in word. in ie its just opening the popup then doing nothing. and in firefox its opening the word document. any help please ??

 

header("Content-Type: application/msword");

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.doc" );

print file_get_contents($path);

exit;

Where's $path come from?

The filename needs to be enclosed in quotes to make it a valid header -

 

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.doc"');

$path is just set to the directory storing the document.

 

$path = '/dir/dir/dir/1.doc';

 

tried with quotes too but still no luck. and i j=dont have any javascript errors in the popup either.
