Well people have ignored me for ages about my problems with the download portion of a forum modification I am making, so I will just make another topic as I am having a ton of time going by without anyone helping me figure out what's going wrong.

Both of these are related to internet explorer 8.

1. If I set the file name to test.zip... it will properly say 0% of test.zip in the popup which shows the progress. However in the minimized part (the window title down there) it will say 0% of index.php. It does give the proper file and titles it properly except it's just annoying that it has the wrong name in the window minimized title area.

2. If I run this in the main function it pops that progress box up properly. However if I simply make a function test() and use $this->test() in the exact same place it MINIMIZES the progress box where you must click the window to have it show where you can chooose where tos ave it and name it and all of that. Why would something as simple as calling a function in the same part of my main function cause it to screw up?

3. You iknow when you download a large file that takes a long time to DL that in IE8 when it's finished downloading it will have another little dialog box come up saying something such as "moving (file) from 'agfsdhfdh' to 'newplace' " ? Well all this time I assumed readfile() will hide the path, but apparently if it's a big file it will show the name of the current folder it is moving FROM? Or is that some temp folder name and not the name of the folder where it originated from?

Thanks

3. It is a temp file name created in temporary internet files locally where it buffers the file until it's done downloaded, then it saves it to the right place.

ok thanks very much. At least now that is one thing I don't ened to worry about. As far as I know I don't necessarily "have" to worry about #1 or #2 either, but it's very annoying if I can't stop those minor issues and who knows... whatever causes those may cause something more major in another browser.

It is no problem, it merely shows the URL in the title bar of the dialogue.

Anyone have an idea why it would be minimized though? So odd that it's minimizing the dialog box if I sue $this->function() but doing the function inside the main function (same place) it doesn't minimize it. that makes no sense to me.
