If you want the user to be prompted to save the data you are sending,
such as a generated PDF file, you can use the Content-Disposition header
to supply a recommended filename and force the browser to display the
save dialog.

<?php
// We'll be outputting a PDF
header('Content-type: application/pdf');

// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');

// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile('original.pdf');
?>
