What I mean is, if you read below code, you will see that if the user request the download.php file, he will get a file named (uuuuu.zip).

I want to specify another name for the file according to user ID in my DB.

I hope that you know what i mean.
Thanks 🙂.

/ Download File /

include "../variable.php";

if($site_available==1) {
if($save_available==1) {

  $db = mysql_connect("$server", "$db_user", "$db_pass");
  mysql_select_db("$database", $db);

$sql = "select * from anasheed where id = $id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
   while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
          $url_li = $row["save"];
  }

$ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");
$seconds = (24-date("H"))60;
$seconds = $seconds-(date("i")60);

 session_id($ip); 
 session_start();

if(!$Visitor_limit_download_IP && !$Visitor_limit_download_Counting) {

 session_set_cookie_params(time()+$seconds);
 setcookie("ggggg",44,time()+3600);

 header("Location: [url]http://www.MySite.com/uuuuu.zip[/url]");

} else {
if($Visitor_limit_download_Counting<$MAX_COUNT) {
$Visitor_limit_download_Counting++;
header("Location: http://www.fanateq.com/uuuuu.zip");
} else {

}

} else { echo ' 
 
 
Service Unavailable
<a href="javascript:history.back(1)">Back</a>';
}
} else {
echo ' 
 
 
Service Unavailable
<a href="javascript:history.back(1)">Back</a>';
}
?>

instead of header("Location ....") try to force the download like this:
header("Content-type: application/zip");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename);
readfile($file_path);

ps: may not work on I.E. 5.5😕
