file download....

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have written a small script allowing users to download a file by simply click on the link....

The link looks like that:

echo "file: <a href=\"download.php?doc=$file\" class=maintext>$file</a><br>";

And here the code in my download.php file

<?
$file= $HTTP_GET_VARS['doc'];

 
  header("Content-Type: application/download\n"); 
  header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\""); 
  $fn=fopen("$file" , "r"); 
  fpassthru($fn); 
  fclose($fn);

?>

You r gonna tell me where is the prob if everything woks???
The stuff is that once the file is download IE keep loading a page.. "this little annoying sand thingy"
How can I stop that...???

Thanks
francois

ps:sorry I knw it might not be revelant to php
