Here's the PHP to download a file.

<?php
$rootPath = "files/";

$filename = "output.txt";
$orig_filename = $_POST[ 'filename' ];

$filename = $rootPath . $filename;
$filesize = filesize( $filename );

if ( $fd = fopen( $filename, "r" ))
{
    header( "Content-type: application/octet-stream" );
    header( "Content-Disposition: filename=\"$orig_filename\"" );
    header( "Content-length: $filesize " );
    header( "Cache-control: private" );

    while( !feof( $fd ))
    {
        $buffer = fread( $fd, 1024 );
        echo $buffer;
    }

    fclose( $fd );
}

exit;

?>

am goin to test this and i will be back – Mamadou Mar 01 '11 at 16:51 — Mamadou, Mar 01 '11 at 16:51

<a href="/path/to/image" download="ImageName" title="ImageName">
    <img src="/path/to/image" alt="ImageName">
</a>

This only works on modern browsers though....
