Hi,
<?php
	$a = var_export( $_SERVER, true );

	session_start();
	
	$f = fopen( "toto.txt", "a" );
	fwrite( $f, "=======================\n$a\n" );
	fclose( $f );
	$len = filesize( "fl.pdf" );
	header( "Content-Type: application/pdf" );
	header( "Content-Disposition: inline; filename=fl.pdf" );
	header( "Content-Length: $len" );
	readfile( "fl.pdf" );
?>

When I ask for this page from IE 5.5 -> 6.0 the script is executed 2 times.

The file toto.txt contains :

With Mozilla 1.1, it's not the case.

It's some IE bug. Not PHP problem in any case.
 [2002-09-17 10:37 UTC] hholzgra@php.net 
it is due to IE being to fast in disposing non-cacheable files

the temporary file that the plugin is supposed to open 
doesn't exist anymore when the plugin initializes as
IE has already removed it

you can work around  this by setting the session.cache_limiter
parameter to "private" to allow client side cacheing
