When I download file stored on DB using IE, Its take me double the time then Netscape takes.

I discovered that IE download the file twice.
one when the headers are read and latter when the file is requested again.

here is the code:

<?
$query =  "select * from files where issue_id='$id'";
$result = mysql_query ($query)
 or die ("Invalid query");

 $data = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "file_data");
 $type = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "file_type");
 $file_name = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "file_name");
 $file_size = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "file_size");

 // # To force save file
 //header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file_name\"");

 Header("Content-type: $type");
 header("Content-Length: $file_size");
 header("Content-Disposition: filename=$file_name");

 echo $data;
?>

found a way around, but I had to drop:
header("Content-Disposition: filename=$file_name");

when ever Content-Disposition found in the code IE load  the page twice.

Or no one know the answer ( with Content-Disposition ) or its a bug.

Any way I think the solution need to apear on the manual to avoid lots of site that double the dl time.

When you drop the content disposition it prompts for download of the php file. And also Opera works fine with it. But in IE I can't find the solution does anyone know?
