// Type MIME
$type = "application/pdf";
$visibleName = "fighter.pdf";
$completePath = "http://www.webweb.infinityfreeapp.com/lichi/fighter.pdf";

// Force download
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$visibleName");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: $type\n");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($completePath));
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0, public");
header("Expires: 0");

readfile($completePath);
die();
?>

Could you provide a link for me to test it? I’m not sure why you decided to use PHP to download the file but I’ll go with it.

Either because…
A. You used it incorrectly
B. Ours system is somehow preventing it from working right’

If it works, leave it, and don’t question it.
