[SOLVED] Add XML File Download Link

[stevesimo]

Hi, I have created a simple PHP script which generates an XML document.  I have added a link so that the user can view the XML file.  Is it possible to create a file download link so that when the user clicks it, the file download dialogue window opens so that the user can save the file to their own computer?

 

I know the user can do a right click and save target as but that isnt very user friendly.

 

Thanks

<?php
$filename = realpath("xmlfile.xml");

$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));

 $ctype="text/xml";

    header("Pragma: public");
            header("Expires: 0");
            header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
            header("Cache-Control: private",false);
            header("Content-Type: $ctype");
            header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); 
            header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";");
            header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
            header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
            set_time_limit(0);
            @readfile("$filename") or die("File not found."); 
?>
