download a file

I have a database that stores file locations and the like...

I need for PHP to start the download of a file... is this possible.

I would just put the filename in a link, but have to keep track of who downloads what... it's a big mess.

Thanks,

Have a look here.

Every script I have tried for downloading a file does not seem to work... It will download the file, but then it prints the contents to the screen... even tarballs!

How odd, did you set the mime type?

no... i'm not even sure how to do that...

I just used the code that was in your last link... it did the same thing.
