Hello,
On my web site, I use a classical php script to allow file download after registration. Since IE7 has been installed, I cannot (and my clients neither) use IE to download files (FireFox or Opera still work fine, IE6 worked fine too).
Message is:
"Internet Explorer cannot download ....
IE was not able to open this internet site. ...either unavailable or cannot be found."
Here is a simple PHP script to illustrate my problem:
< php
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg"); // or "application/download"
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=myImage.jpg");
header("Content-Description: Download image"); // or program
$filename = "img.jpg"; // or 'myprogram.exe'
readfile($filename);
>
I suppose some new security feature is in play, but I could not find any information.
Can somebody help
Thank you
My php download script does not work anymore

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=myImage.jpg");

The most likely problem is your no-cache header-- consider changing this to "private" or "max-age: 60". Is this page sent via HTTPS

....change your security settings for the site in question to "intranet".

Not acceptable... Telling the user to change the security setting for a site so that they can download a file is unbelibably user un-friendly. Not only that, but the error message doesn't even inform the user that the problem is a security level setting. There has GOT to be a better way.

Found a more reasonable solution...
Use the following session cache limiter command BEFORE your session start.
session_cache_limiter('public');
