prompting to download

[dominant]

Hi all

in a php script i write some content in a file and i want to prompt the client to open the created file with the word instead of opening with the browser.

Any idea?

Yep, do the following:

$contentType = filetype($yourFile);
$length = filesize($yourFile);
header("Content-Type: $contentType\n"); 
header('Content-Length: '.$length);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($yourFileName)); 
if ($fp = fopen($file_name, 'rb')) 
{ 
   while (!feof($fp)) echo fread($fp, 4096); 
   fclose($fp); 
} 
else die('Failed to open: ' . $file_name);

Good luck.
