download problem
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2005 3:03 pm
hello, pls help with the following
i have a page that exports records from a table in a csv format
everything works fine, but if i want to restrict acces to that page, then in Internet expplorer i get an error message "Internet explorer cannot download file_to_download.php from http://www.blabla.com". In netscape works fine.
here is a piece of my code
file_to_download.php
apparently the problem seems to be session_start() from authentification.php
i tryed to do it without authentification.php and is ok, but if i insert session_start() in file_to_download.php the error message comes again
