Try out with the below example code:

$file = 'ASDFGgg.pdf';
_Download("mypath/file.zip/".$file, $file);

function _Download($f_location,$f_name){
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($f_location));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($f_name));
readfile($f_location);
}

Hope this helps.

Try this:

<?php
$dir="/path/to/file/";
if (isset($REQUEST["file"])) {
$file=$dir.$REQUEST["file"];
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-length: ".filesize($file));
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($file)."\"");
readfile("$file");
} else {
echo "No file selected";
}
?>

Hope this code helps:
