Content-Disposition and filename's with spaces 1

[BlindPete]

ok here is the line in questions

header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename;");

the problem is that the page is dymanic and often times the $filename has spaces in it for example:

$filename="My File.txt"

the save dialog box comes up with "My" for a file name. the customer wants the spaces preserved else I'd just swap them for an underscore.

any ideas?

There's two steps to getting the save dialog box to open.

One is to use the "Content-disposition" header described above.

The second part is to set the "Content-Type" header to some value that your browser doesn't know what to do with. This should force your browser to open the "save" dialog.
