Help with download window please 1

[GregArtemides]

I want to force a download of a .txt file without IE opening it in the browser. I just need the download window to appear. How do I do it?
currently I am using (which opens the text file in the browser):

header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=somefile.txt");
header("Expires: 0"); 
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); 
header("Pragma: public"); 

readfile($FilePath);

Setting a header:

header ('Content-Disposiion: attachment; filename=somefile.txt');

Should do it.

If it does not, you can also set the content-type to some non-standard value:

header ('Content-type: application/force-download');
header ('Content-Disposiion: attachment; filename=somefile.txt');

But try just the "Content-disposition" header by itself first.
