Answer 1

Looks like something is output before executing your download code. So it shows this message. You can check if your server logs anything in error log file. Also you can try a ob_clean before calling the download_file function.

Answer 2

use the below code:

    <?php
    if(isset($_GET['file'])) {
    $file = isset($_GET['file'])?$_GET['file']:'';

    download_file($file);
    }

    function download_file( $fullPath ){

      // Must be fresh start
      if( headers_sent() )
        die('Headers Sent');

      // Required for some browsers
      if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression'))
        ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');

      // File Exists?
      if( file_exists($fullPath) ){

        // Parse Info / Get Extension
        $fsize = filesize($fullPath);
        $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
        $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);

        // Determine Content Type
        switch ($ext) {
          case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
          case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
          case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
          case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
          case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;
          case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break;
          case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
          case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
          case "jpeg":
          case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
          default: $ctype="application/force-download";
        }

        header("Pragma: public"); // required
        header("Expires: 0");
        header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
        header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
        header("Content-Type: $ctype");
        header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($fullPath)."\";" );
        header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
        header("Content-Length: ".$fsize);
        ob_clean();
        flush();
        readfile( $fullPath );

} else
    die('File Not Found');

}
?>

    <?php print'<p><a href="?u=download&file=noteII007.jpg" class="btn"><i class="icon-cloud-   download"></i> Download</a></p>';?>
