Question

Generally, browsers show the image and pdf files without embedding them in html. I need some codes to make these files not to show in the browsers but make them downloadable like doc files.

Please help me out with this.

try this one :

$file = 'youfile.fileextention';
if (file_exists($file)) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile($file);
    exit;
