Take a look at http://www.php.net/header, particularly the
Content-Disposition portion of it:
<<
If you want the user to be prompted to save the data you are sending, such
as a generated PDF file, you can use the Content-Disposition header to
supply a recommended filename and force the browser to display the save
dialog.
<?php
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.pdf");
/* ... output pdf file ... */
Note: There is a bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 that prevents this
from working. There is no workaround. There is also a bug in Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.5 that interferes with this, which can be resolved by
upgrading to Service Pack 2 or later.

You'll need to choose the correct content-type and filename of course.
