have with any of the above.

Well, if we, the illiterate, are going to brainstorm ;) - clicking a link/button/image executes JavaScript function, which (via AJAX request) hits the php download script. The response will be received by the AJAX object.

Nothing php here.

As far as I see the problem, it is - how to pass this response to the browser in an elegant way, so that the browser will open a "Save as..." dialogue and will direct the stream there.

One could ask this on a JavaScript/AJAX list.
