The download.php is a ready made API php script to provide webmasters upload to their FTP. Webmasters can be choose many options(e.g: download.php?words=2000&sort=popular&type=xml) from a form, then submit the form to get their custom API script.

This is the line that will replace the options after they submit the form.: 

$url = "http://api.xxx.com/info.php?words=".$_GET['words']."&sort=".$_GET['sort']."&type="$_GET['type'];

This is the code to force download. But i don’t know how to wrap whole page with $content = “”;. I know how to wrap the HTML codes but how to wrap the PHP function and codes on the page?

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="download.php");
print $content;

    Not sure if that is what yo want; but you could create a second script that calls the first one, gets the output, and sends that with the mentioned headers:

    <?php
$words = (int) $_GET['words'];
$sort = $_GET['sort'];

$url = sprintf("http://localhost/wherever/download.php?words=%d&sort=%s&type=xml", $words, $sort);
$content = file_get_contents($url);

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="download.php");
print $content;
?>

    Call that file “force_download.php” and let the users call <a href="force_download.php?words=2000&sort=popular&type=xml">Download php file</a> instead.
