Download a image file in php

I have a code , it works, i saved it with download.php , but i don't know, how to download the image file named simpletext.jpg present on the same root of the above mentioned file, I will be very thankful to you if you write the actual path, how to do that, the code is below....

$file_name = "a.txt";

// extracting the extension:
$ext = substr($file_name, strpos($file_name,'.')+1);

header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$file_name);

if(strtolower($ext) == "txt")
{
    header('Content-type: text/plain'); // works for txt only
}
else
{
    header('Content-type: application/'.$ext); // works for all extensions 
except txt
}
readfile($decrypted_file_path);

You can use the htaccess file to force downloads for image files. See this similar question:
