header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
and then readfile(); the desired file.
REMEMBER to check if it is realy a file that the user can see, otherwise anybody can download your php scripts (and maybe even other files) too.

Hi,
I have a site with hundreds of downloadable forms in MS Word format. Right now to download a form you have to right-click and choose "Save Target As..." to download the form. Is there a simple script that I could put in that would trigger the download with a left-click? (The end users are not very savy and are having a hard time with the "Save target as..." concept).
Thanks for your help,
Sam
