This will give the user a download prompt:

<?php                                                                
header('Content-type: text/plain');                             

// What file will be named after downloading                                  
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc.txt"');

// File to download                                
readfile('abc.txt');                                            
?>

You have to pass the right headers:

header("Content-disposition: Atachment");

Use the Content-Disposition header:

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc.txt"');
readfile('abc.txt');

Be sure to send the appropriate Content-Type header as well.
