The Underscore Archives

When forcing a downlaod id usually do something like:

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($thefile));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$dname."\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

Then do a fpassthru

Cheers
