For making download link, you need to set appropriate headers.
For example

header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename);

To solve your problem, you can have a link like http://site.com/downloads.php?id=12456.
In the downloads.php page. you can check for the file name . and set the header in that page. Also its not necessary to have the content-type header.
