Header code to save a file

[Jip]

w would I modify this code so it will automatically save the file to a location? As it is, it prompts the user before saving it.

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export_projects.xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
print "$header\n$data";

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Whether it saves to a default location or prompts for a location is set on the client side depending on the user's browser. You cannot control this.

Nor should you be able to! Think of the security risks? I could direct you to a fake 404 page, but, in the background, download a trojan via HTTP headers without you ever knowing!

thanks for the feedback.
