You could make the zip excutable (.exe) but then the old "dont download any attachments or you'll get a virus" thing may pop up

Here you have a solution to force download without using .zips:

Normally I would just zip the file as well, but there are some older individuals in the church that nay not understand how to unzip. I was hoping to find a work around. I saw some documentation on "force download" in another forum, but it looked contraversial whether it would or would not work and no one posted any code to try.

i usually just make the files ZIP files, which forces a download.

I think you can do this by changing the header that gets sent. Check into the MIME types.

If i can find where I read about this, I'll post a link to it here.
