Have the link be .....download.php3/download.txt
The server knows download.php3 is a file not a directory, so it runs
that. The browser on the other hand doesn't know the directory structure
of the server so it thinks download.php3 is a directory and the file is
download.txt and when a saveas box comes up, that's the name it uses.
