If you get multiple requests for files, expect the db to fall over very
quickly - what's wrong with storing them on the filesystem and having a list
of them in the db?

WTF is up with Header("Header(" ??
Surely this should be Header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"File65.doc\"" );
Here's how I do it
header("content-type: $mime");
header("content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$displayName\"");
echo $data;
One thing - note that that the header names and the actual mimetype are in
lower case. Got weird results with anything different.
