problems downloading excel files in IE

[Rado001]

Hi,

 

I have issues with downloading a CSV file in IE (firefox works just fine).

 

I know this is an ongoing issue as there are so many forum questions about this, but none seem to have a working solution.

 

Are there any more recent updates to this known issue?

 

I've included my header code below ...

 

 

// fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue

header("Pragma: public");

header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time

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($filename).'"');

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

header("Content-Length: ".@filesize($filename));

echo $contents;

 

mysql_free_result($results);

}

 

Any poiters would be appreciated.

 

Rado

my psychic powers are running a little low this morning.  you're going to have to actually inform me as to what the issue is this time.

this is what I use and it prompts for download for me..dunno if that's what you are shooting for or what though..as ^ mentioned, it helps if you actually mention what the problem is

 

header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filenamehere.csv');
