You need to add header in your php code to inform browser to forcefully download the provided content.

header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); 
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\""); 

$filename : File will be downloaded with this name on client side
