If you attempting this over a secure connection (which I assume is why
you're having so much trouble) I.E. can be pretty gay. If it is over a
secure connection, it has to do with I.E. not being able to write to cache
or something. I forgot -- I ran into this a while back. If it's not over a
secure connection, I.E. is still gay. :-)
Try this:
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Length: '.$filesize);
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=FILE.pdf');
header("Cache-Control: private");
header("Pragma: public");
readfile($pdfdoc);
exit();
When all else fails - force a download:
if(isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
strpos($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'MSIE'))
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
else
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Length: '.$filesize);
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=FILE.pdf');
header("Cache-Control: private");
header("Pragma: public");
