    two header questions

    Hi!

    Is it possible to generate an export file and still showing different
    HTML page??

    I have a page and when the user clicks on a link I generate export file
    (with header and data after header) and the page remains the same. It
    would be nice if I could show another page, like message "data generated!".

    And I have another question. I have the following code for sending
    export file:

    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export .txt");
    header("Content-Type: application/octetstream");
    header("Pragma: no-cache");
    header("Expires : 0");
    echo $Data;

    but when the Save as dialog appears I get filename "export.txt.php ".
    What must I do to get the right filename "export.txt "?

    Thanks,
    Branko

      Perhaps trivial but have you tried:

      header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='expor t.txt'");

      putting single quotation marks around the file name and extension?... I'm
      not sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

          Sorry, this doesn't work. Now I get filename 'export.txt'.ph p. Any other
          idea?
          What about showing HTML file?

          Thanks,
          Branko

              Turn the first two headers around and change the content type setting:

              header("Content-Type: plain/text");
              header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export .txt");
              ....
