This is what I do to force a download of a file (for me it's ZIP but it should work for any file type though). Keep in mind you'll have to tweak it as I store my db information differently than you probably do.
header("Content Description: File Transfer");
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must revalidate");
header("Content-Type: application/zip");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename(".".$filepath)."");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize(".".$filepath));
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile(".".$filepath);
Try
$Filename = 'test.flv';
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-type: video/flv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($filename).";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile("$Filename ");
This code working great to download mp4, flv, mpeg file from my end. Here: $file_name = The Downloaded video file name, $file_path = Base Path of the original file in the server.
header('Pragma: public'); // required
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file_name");
header("Content-Type: video/mpeg");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0', false);
header('Cache-Control: private', false); // required for certain browsers
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file_path);
exit;
