why [1] is inserted in filename download

abc.txt is abc[1].txt

[Xuefer]

my code is:

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$name\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"$name\"");

download 2 file: a.mp3 a.mp3.txt
a.mp3 is downloaded as a.mp3
but a.mp3.txt is downloaded as a[1].mp3.txt

Maybe you already have a a.mp3.txt in the folder?

[Xuefer]

no, not even in client cache
but IE insert [1] in main-name of the filename

[seindal]

It appears to be a browser thing. It gets a download with a *suggested* name of a.mp3.txt, but decides to change the name for some reason.

Have you tried with other browsers.

seems you're right, under phoenix(mozilla) it's named as a.mp3.txt.php, all appended with ".php"
no [1] inserted

it's browser issue
i aliased myget.php to "myget" in apache, works fine for phoenix. (a.mp3.txt)
but.... any solution to IE?
