There are several options for that:

1) you can give a direct link
2) you can copy the needed file for download to a temporary directory through php programming and rename it as you need. then delete it using cron jobs
3) you can use header('location:myfile.mp3');
4) you can use this code for more security and reliability:

header("Content-type: application/download");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"yourfile.mp3\"");

$fout = fopen(_VAR."pdf/newfilename.pdf", "r");

while ($buf = fread($fout, 4192)){
 echo $buf;
}
fclose($fout);

There may be several other ways or a combination of those I have listed.

Regards,
Pratamishus

hi
I am a graphic designer who is thinking about learning (X)HTML + Cascading stylesheet to grow my knowledge within the website design development industry.
Offers other people started to discover this, or is already in an advance level?

Would this be a benefit to do this?

It seems to me that could be an excellent opportunity to merge the skills of (improvement and graphics) in to One.

Dealing with board this is a good objective, might We have the ability to learn lots by using Lynda One.Html code + Two. CSS tutorials.

I must listen to some feedback through people who have learned html coding, exactly what litterature/tutorial resources did you make use of for your understanding contour, how long made it happen take you (I understand; how long is really a piece of string. lol) to at least get a very good understand associated with html coding in general or just how long did it take you to understand this.
