If you want to force a download, like Ethan J. Allison, you can better use the local file name
instead of the URL for the file. This way you can avoid some overhead on your webserver.
<?php
$file = "/var/www/html/file-to-download.xyz";
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));
readfile($file);
?>
