Generating XML and displaying it...

[pmmenneg]

I have a script that generates valid RSS on the fly (validated it just now), and should then display it to the end-user.

THis script works fine in FF, but in IE, it pops up a 'Save' dialog. This save dialog is scaring some of my users, as they think it is a virus, etc...

In my PHP, all I send to the end-user is the following:

header("Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml");
echo ($output);

Where $output is the valid rss/xml content. I have tried different headers, such as:

header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml");

But regardless, IE is forcing me to save the file instead of just displaying the RSS/XML. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help,

You could always just send it as text/xml and see if that works....

You might even be able to side-step it and catch if the browser is an IE browser, send the text/xml, if it's FF/Gecko/not IE send application/rss+xml....
