Create a link(Controller action)first. Which will show some message like your download will begin in 10 second. Basically this is middle layer.

Create another link which will create a download file.

So, on link firt page view you have to write some js code like,





function beginDownload(){

  

  var DOWNLOADLINK= <?php echo Yii::createAbsoluteUrl("your link");?> 

  setTimeout(function(){window.location=DOWNLOADLINK;},10000);

}


call this beginDownload() on body load of this page like


window.onload = beginDownload();

and you are done. Well i am not sure i have write a correct code here in terms of syntax.But the logic is 100% correct.
