[SOLVED] How to force a download? is that PHP?

[benphp]

Let's say I have a txt, htm, swf, etc. file that I want to offer as a download but I don't want the browser to open it - I want to launch a download. Can the be done via PHP or is that a JS thing?

<?php
//downloads the file
$file = 'file.jpg';
$fileurl = 'images/'.$file;
if(!file) {die('file not found');}
else {
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile($fileurl); }
exit;
?>
