Use PHP code to force download file types. Sometimes some files cannot be opened online, but need to be downloaded after execution. In this case, use this function to solve the problem
function downloadFile($file){
/*Coded by Alessio Delmonti*/
$file_name = $file;
$mime = 'application/force-download';
header(' Pragma: public'); // required
header('Expires: 0'); // no cache
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 ');
header('Cache-Control: private',false);
header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" '.basename($file_name).'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Connection: close');
readfile($file_name); // push it out
exit();
}
