i am creating a zip file which contains some xml files from server, i am adding that xml files to zip and then trying to download the zip but it is downloading .php file. here is my code

$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument("1.0", "UTF-8");

    //create the root element
    $root = $xmlDoc->appendChild(
              $xmlDoc->createElement("resources"));

    while($row=mysql_fetch_object($QUERY))
    {
        if($key_lang==9)
        {
            $xml_string = $xmlDoc->createElement( "string",trim($row->translate," "));
            $xml_string->setAttribute( "name",$row->field_name);
            $root->appendChild($xml_string);
        }
        else
        {
            $xml_string = $xmlDoc->createElement( "string",trim(base64_decode($row->translate)," "));
            $xml_string->setAttribute( "name",$row->field_name );
            $root->appendChild($xml_string);
        }
    }

    header("content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15");

    //make the output pretty
    $xmlDoc->formatOutput = true;
    $string = $xmlDoc->saveXML();
    $handle = fopen($path.$name_lang.".xml","w");
    fwrite($handle,$string);
    fclose($handle);

    // $string = $xmlDoc->save($path.$name_lang.".xml");

    $fullpath[$key_lang] = $path.$name_lang.".xml";
}


ob_clean();
flush();

//zip file creation
$zip = new ZipArchive();

//zip file name
$FilePath = $app_id.".zip";

$full_path_zip = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])."/".$FilePath;

//check if file exists if yes then delete
if(file_exists(dirname(__FILE__)."/uploaded_xml/".$FilePath)) 
{
    unlink (dirname(__FILE__)."/uploaded_xml/".$FilePath); 
}

//open zip file to add files to zip file
if ($zip->open(dirname(__FILE__)."/uploaded_xml/".$FilePath, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) != TRUE) 
{
    die ("Could not open archive");
}


    //$zip->addFile("file_path","file_name");

// loop through each file
foreach($language_array as $key=>$name)
{
    //add files to zip
    $zip->addFile($fullpath[$key],$name.".xml");
}

// close and save archive

$zip->close();`

Answer 1

Remove this line: echo $file_content;

// To download the ZIP file
header('Cache-Control: public');  
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');  
header('Content-type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'.dirname(__FILE__)."/uploaded_xml/".$FilePath.'"');

Answer 2

Try this

$file_content = file_get_contents(dirname(__FILE__)."/uploaded_xml/".$FilePath);  // To download the ZIP file
header('Cache-Control: public');  
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');  
header('Content-type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;   filename="'.dirname(__FILE__)."/uploaded_xml/".$FilePath.'"');
