Hi Sonnich,

That had nothing to do with PHP.
I expect it is your browser that numbers the files.

Firefox, for example, will happily save files in the same directory (the
one you appointed as download directory), and will start numbering them
if you download a file with the same name in that directory.

So there is nothing wrong with the following header:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");

Regards,
Erwin Moller
