Use $_GET use a hyperlink instead of a submit button.
<?php
if(isset($_GET['download']) && $_GET['download']){
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Type: application/octetstream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file_real_name.'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . (int)(filesize($file_path)));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file_path);
}
?>
