Does anybody know how to do this with php? I'm not sure how to find the
file in the backend and kick it back to the user with the "Save As" box
popping up. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with headers, but
I'm not sure. Thanks.

Usually when you send the header "application/octet-stream" this will
cause the "Save as" box.
This is what I do to "force" excel docs to be downloaded...
Header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=general-data.xls");
I found that just using the content type itself wasn't enough...
