While what icepick dot pt at hotmail dot com writes is largely correct, in fact all you need is:
<?php
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='file_name.xml'");
?>
Whereas:
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/html/force-download");
?>
Sends what is technically an invalid MIME type.
While most HTTP servers will automatically send the correct MIME type (where required), the
standards for which header to send under which circumstances are a little unclear.
