How is this related to PHP, which is the subject of this forum?

If i'm not mistaking the browser should autedetect type of the file you are trying to open by pressing hyperlink. It should ask you what you would like to do - open this file or save it on your HDD.
From the other hand, you can use readfile() and header() functions to set up sending headers.
