[Resolved] file "save as" / Netscape

[freebie]

Hi,
I have an export script that does a binary write to open a file "open/save as" dialog (to export data as an xml file). It works fine in IE, but in Netscape, the filename in the popup displays as 'somefile.xml.php' (whereas in IE it just shows 'somefile.xml').

Here's the relevant code relating to the popup.

if (strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],"MSIE 5.5")) { 
     $att = "";
} else {
     $att = " attachment;"; 
} 
header("Content-Type: application/download; name=\"$FileName\""); 
header("Content-Disposition:".$att." filename=\"$FileName\"");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); 
echo $xml;

Does anyone know a solution so the filename won't display as .xml.php in netscape?

try adding a trailing "\" after the filename...i think that's what solved it for me.

I tried adding the trailing slash with several variations, but that didn't seem to work for me.
What I found did work was changing the Content-Type to text/xml, which suprised me because upon doing this, I expected it to display in the browser (I guess the Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary forces the download in this case).

Here's what worked in Netscape, IE6, and Mozilla for windows.

if (strstr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"],"MSIE 5.5")) { 
 $att = "";
} else {
 $att = " attachment;"; 
} 
header("Content-Type: text/xml; name=$FileName;"); 
header("Content-Disposition:".$att." filename=$FileName;");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); 
echo $xml;
