I use a modified version the following code to allow people to download music from my server without it opening in Winamp or Musicmatch or WMP or whatever they use. It works perfectly and uses the minimal amount of needed headers. Thanks to everyone who commented here for helping me figure out how to do this. <?php $file = "http://localhost/file-to-download.xyz"; header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file)); @readfile($file); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readfile.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43225 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43225&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43225&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
