Double Header

[kreut]

Hello,

 

I'm using:

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");

to download a file from my server.  After this happens, I'd like to use

header("Location:/index.php")

to redirect the user.  I'm finding that if I add in the redirect, then this is the only thing that it does (in other words it executes the last header).  Is there anyway to have two headers which do 2 different things, namely download and then redirect?

 

Thanks so much,

Eric
