- This is a simple and effective way to prompt the user to download a file. Passing a $_GET variable directly into your code is a bad idea without cleaning it first. Will definitely keep this article for a reference.

- Probably should have all the files in a database for the PHP file to read from (and of course make it so no odd queries get through. For example, make it an integer only and if it isn't an integer, do not proceed).

- good idea, but kinda unsafe. ex. someone could use this to download your .htaccess or other sensitive file (I'm not sure if readfile will parse a php script, so they might even be able to get some of your php source.). You should be careful with this. I would probably implement a white list of files that users could download.
