header()

[Anon]

I have the following code to display a image, it is
$filename = fopen("/path/to/abc.bmp");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename);

the image can be displayed in IE but not netscape 4.x. I think the main problem is the header fn and the image is bmp. if i want to display bmp in netscape, how to write the header fn?

I think your problem is that you are using the wrong content type. This doesn't affect IE because IE assumes that everyone is stupid and trys to figure out what the file is on it's own, by using the files extension, instead of using the Content-Type that is sent. Go ahead and try to force your image to be downloaded instead of viewed Netscape will work fine, but IE will always display it.

Any way you should probably use a content type of image/bmp (or something like that).

I think you'll have to get rid of the Content-Disposition header too, otherwise NS will assume it's an attachment and go into download, rather than display mode.
