Prompt to "Save As" No Matter What The File Type

What I want is to have a link to a file (it could be a .zip, .exe, .jpg,
.txt or even .html) and when the user clicks on it they are prompted with
the Save As box, as opposed to it opening in the browser.
I think I need to do something like:

$fp = fopen($filetooutput, "rb");
$thefile = fread($fp, filesize($thefiletooutput));
header("Content-type: ???/???"); not sure what to put instead of the ???
echo $thefile;

If anyone can help that would be much appreciated
Richie
