PHP headers forced download and then redirect

Right now I have a php form that forces a download of a zip.

How can I redirect to another page and also force that download (where the download is actually php zip)?

Would I use javascript?

any ideas?

Thanks!

From stackoverflow

• You could do something like this in your download redirect:

  Header("Location: downloadscript.php?filename");
  

  Good luck!

• You can't do both on the same page : force download the file (using the Content-disposition header) and redirect the user.

  One thing you could is use JavaScript to open a new window to the download age when clicking on a link, and then redirect the user to an other page after a few seconds.
