I realise the allowed mime types should probably be written like this instead:

$handle->allowed = array('\012- application/msword',
'application/x-mspublisher','012- application/msword'');

This has the side effect of stopping say pdf files from being downloaded correctly....Reply

Yes, you have to provide a list of MIME types, in an array.

Is it working now?Reply

I think it has worked. It seemed to work for me using FF2, but someone else using IE6 was still having problems - that could be some caching issue though....

In the end (time was against me) I resorted to testing the mime type variable and if it was empty then I just display a direct link to the file with instructions to right-click and save as....Reply
