Here is basic example to download file -

$file="http://example.com/filename.mp3"; // your filename with path
header("Content-type: application/x-file-to-save"); 
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file)); 
readfile($file);
exit;

you have to give file name with path in $file not directory...remove songs from $file and assign filename under songs directory – TBI Aug 21 '14 at 06:54
i am not getting your problem with database...is your file stored in database ? – TBI Aug 21 '14 at 07:15
ok...get that file from database and assign it to $file variable – TBI Aug 21 '14 at 07:26
why after download ?? you have to fetch it before your download script. You need to post another question if you want to know about fetch data from database – TBI Aug 21 '14 at 07:36
still your question is unclear...you want to download all the files from songs folder ?? – TBI Aug 21 '14 at 09:12

Try this Follow the instruction by variable.... Use file path not filename

 header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
        header("Content-length: ".filesize($dest_file_path));
        header('Content-Type: text/xml');
        header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$dest_file_name.'"');
        readfile($dest_file_path);
