If the script writes the file to the server's filesystem and you provide a link, not much other than change the file extension of the file to something bizarre.
If the script is streaming the file to the browser, you can use the "Content-disposition" header. Take a look at the PHP online manual under header() to see an example ( , just before the user-supplied comments).
Keep in mind that versions of IE tend to ignore this header at will, particularly if it has a default action for the file type.
