How to Force a file to download using PHP on mobile Browsers?

Question

I want to write a php script to download some files(extensions - .apk, .dcm, .pdf, .zip etc...) on mobile browsers. I have written a php code to download those files and it

Answer 1

Try with the following headers:

header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="filename"');

The idea is to set the content type to something that the browser doesn't know how to open - that way it will show the save dialogue. You can try it with the actual MIME type, it should work, but I can't test it right now.
