Automatic downloading?

[ahmedtheking]

You know when you export from phpmyadmin, you can export XML, Excel and so on... What actually makes the export come up as a downloaded file? As in it automatically pops up with 'file download' instead of just opening it in the brower?

headers like

Header("Content-Type: application/octetstream;...");

they must be before the file output

go google for more ;)
