Hi,
I developed a website using php5 & mysql5. One of its features is the
ability of users to upload files to the server, and allow other users
to
view these files.
I allow uploading the following file types: doc, pdf, txt, jpg, gif.
My testing was done on two PCs:
- PC1 with WinXP, IE7, OpenOffice
- PC2 with WinXP, IE6, Office XP.
I manage to successfully download and open files on PC1, but I have
a problem on PC2 with IE6, where in the File Download dialog of IE, I
cannot
press Open and successfully open the file, but if I choose Save and
then
open the saved file, it works!
Additional info:
- Mysql is configured to use utf8.
- My PHP pages deliver the correct content type
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
- I use "SET NAMES utf8" right after opening a db connection.
- Using addslashes on the file content before saving to db, but
no stripslashes are used - with them, nothing works on PC2.
- Note that in the File Download dialog in IE6 and IE7, the filename
is gibberish.
- In Firefox things work fine. Even the file names in the File
Download
dialog show correctly.
I am beginning to run out of ideas, so
any ideas/suggestions will be much appreciated.

Really - nobody can help if you don't post the code.

Sounds like PHP and everything is working fine, and that your issue is
really with IE6.

You are correct, it's an IE6 issue. To make sure that is the case, I
upgraded
IE6 to IE7 on PC2, and it worked perfectly. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
