Try this:

$file = "data.txt";
$text = file_get_contents($file);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
echo $text;

Can you use this Jquery plugin http://jdownloadplugin.com/ to do the file download. It has many additional cool features for file downloading from web.

if you are using apache and want to enforce downloading the txt files instead of opening them in browser. you can do using .htaccess

AddType application/octet-stream .txt
