I just want to export my live sql data into excel file inside specific directory. I am able to to download the excel file from sql but it is downloading in download folder in sytem but i want to download it on live server "/home/jw07sp1ptrfw/public_html/" this is my directory on live server.But when I am running this code its downloading the file home_jw07sp1ptrfw_public_html_report.xls in system download folder. Please help me if any one can thanks in advance
include('config.php');
$html='<table> <tr><td> Name</td><td>Email</td><td>Phone</td></tr>';
$result = mysqli_query($link,"SELECT * FROM `order`");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$html.='<tr><td>'.$row["name"].'</td><td>'.$row["email"].' </td><td> '.$row["phone"].'</td></tr>';
}
$html.='</table>';
header('Content-Type: application/xls');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= /home/jw07sp1ptrfw/public_html/report.xls');
echo $html;
I have also tried this. But not getting the solution.
$file_name = "report.xls";
$rootDir = realpath("/home/jw07sp1ptrfw/public_html");
$fullPath = realpath($rootDir . "/" . $file_name);
// if ($fullPath && is_readable($fullPath) && dirname($fullPath) === $rootDir)
{
header('Content-Type: application/xls');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($fullPath));
readfile($fullPath);
echo $html;
}
You can't do that. The filename is just a hint to the browser, and it will preprocess it for security reasons. See https://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc6266.html#disposition.parameter.filename.

I'm aplying this link in order to develop an easy script to download an Android .apk file. But instead of download file, is downloading itself.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/22605604
Here is my code:
<?php
$filename = shell_exec('ls /var/www/html/app/*.apk');
$contenttype = "application/force-download";
header("Content-Type: " . $contenttype);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($filename) . "\";");
readfile($filename);
exit();
?>
Php.info is rendered correctly by Apache.
Thanks.
Your path is not set correctly!
Try to use a real path/filename:
$filename = "/var/www/html/app/nameofyourfile.apk";
And also your content-type is not set correctly, try:
Content-type: application/com.android.package-install
If these two errors are corrected, it would probably force to download your apk file.
Anyway, this should work ->
<?php
$filename = "/var/www/html/app/yourfile.apk";
$contenttype = "application/com.android.package-install";
header("Content-Type: " . $contenttype);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename);
readfile($filename);
?>
I currently am working on a PHP project that uses the Zend Framework. I am making a CSV without any issues in the controller, but then want the user to be able to download the file by clicking a button in the view.
In my .phtml I have:
<a class="btn" href="<?php echo $this->download;?>" download>Export to CSV</a>
$this->download is being set in the controller:
$view["download"] = $this->_createCSV($bqc_jobs, $startDate, $endDate, $processor_id, $defaultTime);
The _createCSV function creates the CSV and stores it in the temporary directory that the site uses. It then returns the filepath.
private function _createCSV($jobs, $start, $end, $user=null, $minutes){
$format = "Ymd_His";
if(!$start && !$user){
$start = date($format, strtoTime("-" . $minutes . " minutes"));
}
if(!$end){
$end = \DateTime::createFromFormat($format, date($format))->format($format);
}
$directory = Config::$tempDir;
$fileName = $directory . "/" . ($user ? $user . "_" : "") . ($start ? $start . "_" : "") . $end . "_report.csv";
$file = fopen($fileName, 'w');
foreach ($jobs as $job){
fputcsv($file, $job);
}
fclose($file);
return $fileName;
}
When the button is clicked, the browser tries to download the file, but errors because it cannot find the file. This makes sense, since the browser should not have access to the temporary folder, but I'm not entirely sure how to get around this.
If you are unable to see the folder due to the UNIX file permissions, then your only options will be to:
Change the file permissions on the tmp folder so that your web server can read/write there using chmod/chown (I assume it is a linux system?)
Use a different folder with sufficient permissions
Don't store the file on disk - store it in a database instead (not optimal).
Once you are sure your file permissions are in order and that the file can be read by apache, it appears that you should be able to use php's readfile function to actually transmit the file back to the browser:
<?php
$file = '/tmp/monkey.gif';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
}
?>
I have text file contains Sample of CSV file format, I want my users can download that file on a link click.
This file resides in this folder stucture:
assets->csv->Sample-CSV-Format.txt
This is the code that I have tried to far:
<?php
$file_name = "Sample-CSV-Format.txt";
// extracting the extension:
$ext = substr($file_name, strpos($file_name,'.') + 1);
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $file_name);
if (strtolower($ext) == "txt") {
// works for txt only
header('Content-type: text/plain');
} else {
// works for all
header('Content-type: application/' . $ext);extensions except txt
}
readfile($decrypted_file_path);
?>
<p class="text-center">Download the Sample file HERE It has a sample of one entry</p>
This code is downloading the file on page load instead of link click. Also, it is downloading the whole html structure of the page I want only the text what I have written in text file.
Please guide where is the issue?
You can do this simply in by HTML5 download atrribute . Just add this line in your downloading link .
HERE
You can do it like this, it won't redirect you and also works good for larger files.
In your controller "Controller.php"
function downloadFile(){
$yourFile = "Sample-CSV-Format.txt";
$file = #fopen($yourFile, "rb");
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=TheNameYouWant.txt');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($yourFile));
while (!feof($file)) {
print(#fread($file, 1024 * 8));
ob_flush();
flush();
}
}
In your view "view.php"
Download
make it like this
someother_file.php
<?php
$file_name = "Sample-CSV-Format.txt";
// extracting the extension:
$ext = substr($file_name, strpos($file_name,'.')+1);
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$file_name);
if(strtolower($ext) == "txt")
{
header('Content-type: text/plain'); // works for txt only
}
else
{
header('Content-type: application/'.$ext); // works for all extensions except txt
}
readfile($decrypted_file_path);
?>
some_html_page.html
<p class="text-center">Download the Sample file HERE It has a sample of one entry</p>
To my view its better to have the download code to the client side, than to have a controller-method written for this.
you can use this ref
public function getTxt()
{
$this->load->helper('download');
$dataFile = "NOTE87";
$dataContent = array();
$dt = "Date :23/07/2021";
$dataContent= array(
"\n",
"\t\t\tUTI AMC Limited\n",
"\t\tDepartment of Fund Accounts\n",
"\n",
"\tReissue of Non Sale Remittance - Axis Bank Cases\n",
"\n",
"\t\t\t\tDate :".$dt."\n",
"\n",
);
force_download($dataFile,implode($dataContent));
}
I need some eduction please.
At the end of each month, I want to download some data from my webserver to my local PC.
So, I've written a little script for that, which selects the data from the DB.
Next, I want to download it.
I've tried this:
$file=$month . '.txt';
$handle=fopen($file, "w");
header("Content-Type: application/text");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment, filename=" . $month . '.txt');
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($res))
{
$writestring = $row['data_I_want'] . "\r\n";
fwrite($handle, $writestring);
}
fclose($handle);
If I run this, then the file is created, but my file doesn't contain the data that I want. Instead I get a dump from the HTML-file in my browser..
What am I doing wrong..
Thanks,
Xpoes
Below script will help you download the file created
//Below is where you create particular month's text file
$file=$month . '.txt';
$handle=fopen($file, "w");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($res)){
$writestring = $row['data_I_want'] . "\r\n";
fwrite($handle, $writestring);
}
fclose($handle);
//Now the file is ready with data from database
//Add below to download the text file created
$filename = $file; //name of the file
$filepath = $file; //location of the file. I have put $file since your file is create on the same folder where this script is
header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary\n");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filepath));
readfile($filepath);
exit;
Your current code does not output a file, it just sends headers.
in order for your script to work add the following code after your fclose statement.
$data = file_get_contents($file);
echo $data;
So I have files stored on Amazon S3. My customers download these files from our website, they click download and it sends the info to our download.php page (the customers don't see this page), but there it uses PHP to get the file name and path (code below). But the issue we have is that it's not telling the browser the file size, so when the customer is downloading they see "remaining time unknown". How can I make it so that the download.php page can get that information and pass it alone?
<?php
$file_path = "http://subliminalsuccess.s3.amazonaws.com/";
$file_name = $_GET['download'];
$file = file_get_contents('$file_name');
header('application/force-download');
header( 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' );
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file_name.'"');
$pos = strpos($file_name, "http");
if ($pos !== false && $pos == 0)
{
readfile($file_name);
} else readfile($file_path.$file_name);
?>
That's very easy. Look, when you do file_get_contents(), you can get your file size with strlen(). Then you send Content-Length header in the response.
<?php
$file_path = 'http://subliminalsuccess.s3.amazonaws.com/';
$file = trim($_GET['download']);
$file_name = $file_path.$file;
$file_contents = file_get_contents($file_name)
OR die('Cannot get the file: '.$file);
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Length: '.strlen($file_contents));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
echo $file;
BTW, there're so many mistakes in your code. For example, you read files twice, one time with file_get_contents() and second time with readfile(). $file_name variable doesn't have URI. file_get_contents('$file_name') is also wrong.
Also, you don't check your incoming URLs, but just readfile() it which is not nice as someone might pass any URLs to your script...
