• How to force file download with PHP 10 answers

I´ve developed a web page and all good but I have a little question. I need that when I click on the name, this downloads the file. This file is located in a server FTP. How do I do this?

My php version is "4.7.0"

The code that I used is this:

<td>
    <a href="descarga.php?id=<?php echo $misdatos["record"];?>"?> 
    <?php echo $misdatos["record"]; ?></a>
</td"

Thank you for the help.

You can use the download attribute:

<td>
    <a href="descarga.php?id=<?php echo $misdatos["record"];?>" download>
    <?php echo $misdatos["record"]; ?>
    </a>
</td>

this way, instead of opening the file in the browser, it will force the browser to download the resource.
