O.P. RE: Forcing Firefox to show "Save as" dialog, or automaticly start downloading the file?
Dempsey's header were giving me an error.
Your header was asking me if i wanted to download the php file.

Anyway, I saved the pls file as listen.pls.php and added dempsey's code which dt fixed...

I would have used mod_rewrite too, but im getting internal server errors... :(

I suggest you just zip it. Easiest and simplest way to fix this.

Not really because it needs you to unzip after you have downloaded it, then use the file.

Mike, if my heardes asked you to download the file, then it is because of no or incorrect browser settings.

I have had another idea also. Give the URI of the playlist to the user, and let them have their choice of program open that file directly, rather than having the browser download and then deal with it.

Well, as I said in my earlier post, i fixed it by naming the file listen.pls.php and using that header...
It works :)

However, the filename looks abit ugly, because listen.pls.php doesnt sound right... :P
