Headers

[Anon]

Does anyone know what header type I should send to start a download automatically?

I want users to fill out a form on my site, the details are then merged with a template file and sent as a download.

It's not practical for me to create a temporary file and then redirect the user to it as the site gets a lot of traffic and it would never get deleted.

Is there a way to terminate the current page output from PHP. For example, when you write the first character of output, a " Content-Type: text/html\n\n" is sent automatically by the interpreter, how do I say, "no more" so I can send another header() command?

Thanks in advance.

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=YOUR FILENAME");
header("Content-Description:File Description");

Thanks, where did you get that list from, i'd be interested to see the rest of the types that are available.
