**CORRECTION** (I was trying to adapt some old code to use for this example)
header("HTTP/1.0 200 OK");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=some_filename");
header("Content-Location: some_filename");
header("content-length: " . filesize("/path/to/file.ext"));
readfile("/path/to/file.ext");
