    Hey,

    I have a download script on my site which allows users to download files of my server.

    But their is one problem some of the files are in .avi format. And they can only be downloaded when using Firefox.

    If you use IE it wont download and just takes them to a "page cannot be displayed" error. And this only happens if they are in .avi format. Zip or rar format download fine on both browsers. AVI doesn't work with IE

    Any idea why this is happening?

    Yes, That works but a better solution would be more useful.

    Use content-disposition if it's PHP.

    Well.. I tried putting this code with no luck.

    
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;');
    PHP:
    By the way it is several files not just one.

    Your code is lacking. If it is several files then just put variables in the attachment field.

    What do you mean by putting variables?

    This is how it looks like

    Public_html/Folder1/Several_files.avi /zip /rar
    Public_html/Folder2/Several_files.avi /zip /rar
    Public_html/Folder3/Several_files.avi /zip /rar
