I believe there is header called "Content-disposition: filename.pdf" which
is defined in the proper RFC. And as far as I know some browsers don't
respect it. Search the list for it, you should find allot of info.

Subject: [PHP] passthru Problems
Greetings,
I am having a small problem displaying PDF files to my users via passthru.
This is the situation: I have a bunch of PDF files on my server directory.
I show the user a listing of the PDF files they can view, and allow them to
hyperlink click on the PDF they wish to browse. When the user clicks the
link, I execute a header() and then my passthru on my PDF file. The code is
essentially:
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
passthru($pdf_file);
Now, my problem is that the title of the HTML window that pops up is of the
URL path. I want to set the title to something meaningful (like the name of
the PDF file the user is looking at). But, if I try to print a "<TITLE>PDF
File</TITLE>" after the header, my PDF document does not show up (it shows
the raw encoding of the PDF document).
Does anyone have any suggestions to allow me to show a title on a
header/passthru page? Is there a better way to do this?
Cheers,
Jason
