Scratch that - I have found out that it is octet-stream that I need. However, using code as follows:
if (strstr ($dt->table[0][1], ".zip")) header ("Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed"); else header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header ("Content-Length: ".filesize ($SITE_ROOT.$dt->table[0][1])); header ("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=".str_replace ("/files/", "", $dt->table[0][1])); readfile ($SITE_ROOT.$dt->table[0][1]); (where $dt->table[0][1] is the filename.) When I run this code for an exe file, the application name has a [1] put in the middle of it - e.g. filename is "DelayCalculator-v1.0.exe", results in "DelayCalculator-v.1[1].0.exe".
