http_send_content_disposition

Send Content-Disposition

Description

bool http_send_content_disposition ( string $filename [, bool $inline = false ] )

Send the Content-Disposition. The Content-Disposition header is very useful if the data actually being sent came from a file or something similar, that should be "saved" by the client/user (i.e. by the browser's "Save as..." popup window).

Note: This function should be used in conjunction with http_send_data, http_send_file and http_send_stream.

Parameters

filename

the file name the "Save as..." dialog should display

inline

if set to TRUE and the user agent knows how to handle the content type, it will probably not cause the popup window to be shown

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
