Hi , 
Try with this header.


	$export_file = "YourFileName.xls";
	ob_end_clean();
	ini_set('zlib.output_compression','Off');
	
	header('Pragma: public');
	header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
// Date in the past	
	header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
	header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
// HTTP/1.1 
	header('Cache-Control: pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0');
// HTTP/1.1
	header ("Pragma: no-cache");
	header("Expires: 0");
	header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: none');
	header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;');
// This should work for IE & Opera
	header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
// This should work for the rest
	header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'.basename($export_file).'"');



Regards,
Lasitha

Subject: [PHP-DB] force to download file

hi all,

i have this on top of my php page:

header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=excelfile.xls");

but it is not prompt to save the file instead it opens right in IE.

my question is how do i force the browser prompts to save the file?

thanks
