I may be wrong about this as I have little experience dealing with binary files. But I do not blieve that Content-Type: application/x acts like a universial content type. It seems to me that you're going to have to build in a conditional that sets the appropriate Content-Type: based on the file being displayed. So the file is a GIF then the header should read Content-Type: image/gif

But I read that it should work. How could do that? Thanks in advance -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
