Sigh.

I think they implemented the IE bug that looks at URLs instead of Headers
in some cases.

Rename your PHP script to be .htm, and then use .htaccess with ForceType
to make it really be a PHP script.

<Files productdetails.htm>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

Then the browser CAN NOT KNOW you used PHP to generate the file, so cannot
possibly screw up...

Well, at least it can't screw up in the way it is doing now. :-)
