I am trying to generate an HTML file with PHP and Force the Browser to Download it. The Problem is, even if i Generate a file with an unknown extension e.g. ".mail" the file is shown in the Browser Window. I tried to rewrite the HTTP Headers, but it seems that the Server (PLESK) is ignoring them: Here is my PHP Code:

<?php 
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mail.html"');
header("Pragma: public");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
//print_r($_POST);
switch ($_POST['radios']){
    case 1:

        include("1.include");

        print($_POST["editor1"]);

        include("1-foot.include");
        brake;
    case 2:
        brake;
    case 3:
        brake;
    case 4:
        brake;
}

?>

Firebug is showing me this Headers:

Got it :) There was 1 Space before the <?php> which caused the headers to not being sent :) Thanks
