Files are already downloadable by default.
Create a php file, through which the file will be downloaded. For example: download.php Place the following codes on them.
$filename = $_GET['filename'];
$dir = "../path/to/directory/"; //$dir = 'd:/temp_file/voice/';
// ^ Use Relative links ^ Not system dependent link as this
if(is_file($dir.$filename)) {
header('Content-type: audio/wav');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$dir.$file.'"');
echo file_get_contents($dir.$file);
}
Next link to this page as this
<a href="download.php?name=filename.jpg">Download FileName</a>
