I'm having problem to make the pdf download syntax from chiefeditor folder to pdf folder in the participant folder. I had read and watch tutorial but I cannot solve the problem. The directory as shown below:
📁chiefeditor
download.php
📁participant
📁pdf
Here is my code for the download.php:
if(!empty($_GET['pdf_file'])){
$file_name = $_GET['pdf_file'];
$file_path = '/../../participant/pdf/'.$file_name;
if(!empty($file_name) && file_exists($file_path)){
//define header
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-type: application/pdf'); //output the pdf
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$file_name'); //call the pdf
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: public');
header("Pragma: Public");
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file_name));
header('Content-Encoding: identity');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
//read file
readfile($file_name);
exit;
}
else{
echo "file not exit";
}
}
?>

I can't download files that already uploaded in my website, for example :
I already uploaded a video file with 800mb file size and it is okay, the file is save to my directory in the File folder, then I want to download that file again, but as soon as I download the file, I will always got 1kb file not the exact size of the file, and when I play it, nothing happen
this is my code:
<?php
include 'db.php';
if(isset($_REQUEST['name']))
{
$var =$_REQUEST['name'];
$dir = "../files/";
$file = $dir . $var;
if(file_exists($file))
{
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: video');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename='.basename($file));
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
mysqli_close($conn);
exit();
}
else{
echo "File not found";
}
}
?>
Yeah, I had the same problem too. After searching alot on the internet, I found out that the problem is related to output buffering. The following code solved my problem.
<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_end_clean(); //adding this line solves my problem
readfile($file);
exit;
?>
The code ob_end_clean() basically runs grabs everything in the buffer, then erases the buffer, and turns off output buffering.
I have scripted a download file on PHP. I use fpassthru but I cannot download any file. It just print binary code on my page. When I tried uploading it on host and it works fine.
Can anyone explain why my PHP file is not working on local?
Note: I am using XAMPP on Mac.
Here is my code:
$filename = $data['PathFile'];
$directory = '../upload/'.$filename;
if (file_exists($directory) && is_readable($directory)) {
$size = filesize($directory);
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename);
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
$file = # fopen($directory, 'rb');
if ($file) {
fpassthru($file);exit;
}
Please Check your Directory or path. Giving an example of another code for download please try this.
$file = 'Pareshaan.mp4';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
}
I've got a web from that has two buttons for submitting, one sends an email with pdf attached, this works perfectly.
The second button is to download the pdf, this is the problem. I am saving the pdf in a temp file before download but after it is downloaded the file doesn't open and it is corrupt. The pdf is about 30KB. I have tried solutions to similar questions but always the same result, the pdf won't open.
This didn't work
$fileName = "file.pdf";
$file_name = ("temp/file.pdf");
file_put_contents($file_name, $pdf_content);
$filepath=$file_name; //file location
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
This didn't work
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/temp/"; // change the path to fit your websites document structure
$fullPath = $path.$fileName;
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header('Content-disposition: attachment;
filename='.basename($fullPath));
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header('Content-Length: '. filesize($fullPath));
readfile($fullPath);
exit;
This didn't work
set_time_limit(0); // disable timeout
$file = $root_path.'/full-tile-book.pdf';
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="NewName.pdf"');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
$f = fopen($file, 'rb');
fpassthru($f);
fclose($f);
exit;
This didn't work
header('Pragma: public'); // required
header('Expires: 0'); // no cache
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Cache-Control: private', false);
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime($filepath)) . ' GMT');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=file.pdf');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filepath)); // provide file size
header('Connection: close');
readfile($filepath);
exit();
The file is always in the temp folder on the server and that works fine so somewhere in the download the file is getting corrupted.
I don't care how the download is done, pdf or oclet-stream or any other way.
I removed the : Content-Type header and it works for me.

Hi I am trying to allow download a demo file which is related to a product. my code is like this
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$path = "/download/";
$path = $root.$path;
$filename = $demo;
$file = $path.$filename;
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($file)."\";" );
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile($file);
}
I am able to get file name which is associated with the product by
$demo
After user submits his information, download will start automatically. Now this is downloading a non existing file or corrupted file with the proper file name. please help
<?php
$file = 'monkey.gif';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
exit;
}
?>
As you can see Content type is application/octet-steam meaning file is byte by byte encoded. Also the cache headers are set. Then headers are forcefully sent by ob_clean();flush(); and then the file is read.
The file_exists is there to ensure that given file exists. You should also try not not thrust user input as they could easy write names for your php codes and download EACH file. And with ../ in names of the files, even your documents or system files and so on.
I try to use php to force the image jpg file download, I have implemented eth following code:
html
<a href = "filedownload.php?src=uploads/myimage.jpg&download=true>download this file</a>
download.php
<?php
ob_start();
include_once 'functions.php';
if (isset($_GET['download']) && $_GET['download'] == 'true')
{
$src = sanitizeString($_GET['src']);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($src));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: public');
header('Pragma: public');
}
?>
Suppose the full path of the image is "www.example.com/smith/topic/uploads/myimage.jpg", I have recieved the right image name and the download window is appeared as well, but the image is corrupt and with 1KB size, any one could tell me why, thanks a lot.
Here you are example how to use readfile function
<?php
$file = 'monkey.gif';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
exit;
}
?>
You need some code that actually sends over the file. See e.g. readfile or fpassthru
Try to use:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($fullPath)."\";" );
