Outputting an rtf to browser

[Peter]

Hi all, I'm just trying to send a rtf file to the browser but firefox
and IE just display raw rtf content (with tags and so on)...
I used this code down below:

--CODE

$length = strlen($new_rtf);

$filename = "certificato_".$paz.".rtf";

header("Content-Type: application/rtf");

header("Content-Length: ".$length);

header("Content-Disposition:attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"");

echo($new_rtf);

--END

Actually it's in a page with no HTML tags, I don't know if this is an
error or what...Can anybody help me?

Peter:

header("Content-Type: application/rtf");

The registered MIME type for RTF is text/rtf.

thank you so much, but still not works...I don't know why. Should I
put headers between <headhtml tags?

you use '$filename' and '$new_rtf'

Which of them contains the file you want to send to the browser?

$filename is just a string containing file's name, while $new_rtf is
the reference to the file

You can recommend dispositions, but the browser is free to ignore them.

However, in your case, I suspect something else is going on. First of
all, enable all errors and display them - in your php.ini file, put:

display_errors=on
error_reporting=E_ALL

And restart your web server.

If that doesn't show anything, look at the headers being sent by the web
server - the "Live HTTP Headers" add-on for Firefox is great in this
respect.

Solved. It was a problem of an html opening tag just at the beginning
of the file
