streaming file download code

[dila125]

I'm using the following code which promts the user to download a text file which has been generated automatically:

Header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filenamef");
echo $text_dataA;	
exit();

This works fine for one file, but when I repeat the code as part of the same script, so the user would get two download prompts, only the first promt appears.

Is this normal behaviour? Any workarounds?

Normal behaviour, I think... never saw two Save dialogs from one page loading.

You could try to use a header('Location: ') and automatically load the other page (I think it will only run when the first file is completed downloaded)

Or zip the files.
