Save image to user machine

I am trying to do something like Facebook's "Download" Photo link when viewing an album photo. Trying to avoid opening popups. Any Javascript/jQuery/PHP method to do it? I am aware of this: http://www.jtricks.com/bits/content_disposition.html But I don't have control over the server configuration to do so. Please let me know what is the best way to achieve this.

You can simply use the header function of PHP to set the Content-Disposition header, for example:

header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$name."\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Accept-Ranges: none");
header("Content-Length: ".$length);

echo $data;

You don't need to access the server configuration. Just use header()—before any HTML output.

Example:

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=example.pdf');

You can send a Content-Disposition header using PHP. No need to change the server configuration. So maybe something like this:

<?php
$file = 'folder/file.jpg';
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
readfile($file);
?>
