Generate download file link in PHP [duplicate]

by 
$filename="Test.pdf"; // of course find the exact filename....        
header('Pragma: public');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Cache-Control: private', false); // required for certain browsers 
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'. basename($filename) . '";');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filename));

readfile($filename);

exit;

Name the above file as download.php

HTML: 

<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1968106/download.php">Test.pdf</a>

That should do it.
