[thelist] Serving PDFs

[Chris Price]

I'm attempting to serve pdfs using a slightly modified Harry Fuecks' 
script and I'm running into problems with IE 7.

The script looks like this:

$mimeType = "application/$type";
        if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE 5') or
            strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Opera 7')) $mimeType = 
'application/x-download';
       
        header("content-disposition: attachment; filename = \"$fileName\"");
        header("content-type: {$mimeType}");
        header("content-length: {filesize($fileName)}");
       
        readfile($fileName);

I have no problems opening the files (in Firefox on Mac) but my client  
(on IE7) cannot open the files directly or  when they've been downloaded 
to his desktop.

Any ideas?

Kind Regards
