Hi Vivek ,

Downloading file from web page using PHP , see below.
For write data to file , look up the file function in php manual, it
have some examples.

Thanks

$filename = 'Your file name';
// fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
// browser must download file from server instead of cache
// force download dialog
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
// use the Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename
and
// force the browser to display the save dialog.
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" .
basename($filename) . ";");

/*
The Content-transfer-encoding header should be binary, since the file
will be read
directly from the disk and the raw bytes passed to the downloading
computer.
The Content-length header is useful to set for downloads. The browser
will be able to
show a progress meter as a file downloads. The content-lenght can be
determines by
filesize function returns the size of a file.
*/

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filename));

readfile("$filename");
exit();
