How do I force the browser to download the current page browsed to? A page with the header Content-type: text/plain for example using PHP?
If a user navigates to that page, a download box should appear (the browser download dialog with the usual "Save As".
Straight from http://php.net/header
<?php
// There is contention over if this MIME type is right, but just use it for now.
header('Content-type: text/javascript');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.js"');
readfile('file.js'); // Echo the file
?>
NOTE: this must be done before any other output (and can be about the only thing on the page, unless you want other output in your file).
