forcing a txt file download

[lmb]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to force the download of a text file ?
In my script, I tried : header("location: my_text_file.txt") ;
....and of course, I get my text in my browser as I wanted a download dialog
box to appear.

Any help,

Many thanks in advance,

Oops, ok, I've just found.
was :
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt");
readfile("test.txt");

Intimidation, thuggery, trickery... Sorry, that's all for the moment.
