You are not going to be able to use PHP to tell the client browser to do

you are going to have to embed either a java.applet, or javascript to do it.
I donšt know a whole lot about either, so I don't know if they are even a
possibility.

browswer won't know what type of file it is, so will prompt to save.. should
get the file-name right from the other.
