Problem with save as at Safari for Windows

[h3lp]

Hello, i have a PHP script that will pop up a save as dialog box.
This script works well at Firefox and IE7, but when i test it with Safari for Windows.
It will download the PHP script itself and not the file that i want to give to user.
Can someone help me, pls? Thanks in advance....

   header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$fileName);
   header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
   header("Pragma: no-cache");
   header("Expires: 0");
 
   $fp = fopen("$fileLoc","r");
   $str = fread($fp, filesize($fileLoc));
   echo $str;
   fclose($fp);

Heya, h3lp.

Try this:

header("Content-type: application/force-download");

Hi pbmods,
I've tried ur code, but it still can't work.
Safari still downloads the PHP script :(

Heya, h3lp.

Have a look at the comments on this page.

(p.s., you can use readfile() to output the entire file in one step)

Sorry for the late reply, been busy for the last few days.
Wow, pbmods. That one is working ;)
Thanks a lot, really appreciate your help.
Thx, thx, thx :D

Rrr, sorry pbmods.
One more thing, if i want to download a jpg image. Safari will automatically open the image, instead of pop up a save dialog box.
While Firefox & IE will ask user to download the jpg file.
Can you help me again, pls? Thx

Heya, H3lp.

Force-downloading an image file should use the same syntax as force-downloading any other file. If the browser insists on displaying the image, this might be a feature of the browser. Perhaps try zipping the file first.

Incidentally, you can use fread() to output the file directly without having to worry about fopen() and fclose().
