Stop IE automatically opening CSV files

[davebat]

How do I stop IE from automatically opening CSV files in a new browser and instead give the option to save to disc?

[ALL]

well, the only way i know how to do this is by using a scripting language like PERL, PHP, ASP, JSP, exc...

for php use this:

<?php 
$file = 'path/your_file.xxx'; 
header('Content-Type: application/x-download'); 
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $file); 
print file_get_contents($file); 
?>
