I want to download files using external urls on click below code i am using and its working fine now error but file is not downloading anywhere.
public function checkCount(Request $request)
{
$userid = Session::get('UserId');
$count = DB::table('download_details')
->where('type','=',$request->type)
->where('user_id','=',$userid)
->get()
// echo "<pre>"; print_r($count); die;
->count();
if($count >= 2)
{
echo 0;
}
else
{
$data = array(
'corporate_id' => $request->corporateid,
'user_id' => Session::get('UserId'),
'ip_address' => \Request::ip(),
'mac_address' => '',
'type' => $request->type,
'count' => '',
'date' => date('Y-m-d'),
'status' => 1
);
$insert = DB::table('download_details')->insert($data);
$name = basename($request->url);
$path = $request->url;

copy($request->url, $tempImage);
return response()->download($tempImage, $name);
}
}
My Ajax Code
function saveData(type,url)
{
var corporateid = $('#corporateid').val();
// alert(type);
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'/check-count',
data:{'_token':'{{csrf_token()}}',corporateid:corporateid,type:type,url:url},
success:function(response){
// alert(response);
if(response == 0)
{
$('#download_error_message').show();
$('#download_error_message').html("Download Limit Exceeded");
$('#download_error_message').fadeOut(4000);
}
else

Hopefully, it will work.
public function checkCount(Request $request)
{
$userid = Session::get('UserId');
$count = DB::table('download_details')
->where('type','=',$request->type)
->where('user_id','=',$userid)
->get()
// echo "<pre>"; print_r($count); die;
->count();
if($count >= 2)
{
echo 0;
}
else
{
$data = array(
'corporate_id' => $request->corporateid,
'user_id' => Session::get('UserId'),
'ip_address' => \Request::ip(),
'mac_address' => '',
'type' => $request->type,
'count' => '',
'date' => date('Y-m-d'),
'status' => 1
);
$insert = DB::table('download_details')->insert($data);
$name = basename($request->url);
$path = $request->url;
// echo $path; die;
$tempImage = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), $path);
copy($request->url, $tempImage);
$mimeType = mime_content_type($tempImage);
$headers = ["Content-Type: {$mimeType}"];
return Response::download($tempImage, $name, $headers);
}
}
