As the title says. How can i download a file off a network drive? I currently have this, it opens the file in my Internet Explorer browser but it's supposed to download it. (Or give the option to open or download).
$search is the input given by the user.
<a type="button" class="UitslagKnop" href="file:\\\\domain\map\map\map\map\<?php echo $search; echo '_REV_'; echo $Revlv2; echo '_uitslag';?>.dxf" download><span>Uitslag</span></a>
You don't need the file:\\ in the href of the link. Testing your code locally doesn't initiate the download like you're attempting, but removing that prefix in the href does. Simply use:
<... href="\domain\map\map\map\map\<?php echo $search.'_REV_'.$Rev1v2.'_uitslag';?>.dxf" ...>

Community,
I would like to run a script when you click a link, but this shouldn't open in a new frame, that's why I added the following:
<iframe style="display:none;" name="target"></iframe>
<a href="script.php" target="target">
The script now executes without popping a blank page, joy. But I want the same link to open a PDF file.
<a href="pdf/cesar.pdf" target="_blank" > click here to download </a>
But now the PDF doesn't show, as the target frame is hidden. I can't seem to combine these two. Can someone help me out on this?
Cheers!
Cesar.
It sounds like you might be over-engineering this. Consider the high-level requirements:
The link needs to:
Execute PHP code
Open a PDF file
This sounds like two actions, but from the perspective of the client it's really only one action... open the PDF file. The rest is up to server-side code.
So create one link to perform that one action:
click here to download
As long as getPDF.php returns a PDF file, the client will never know the difference. What that PHP code does before returning that file is up to you. You can have all the code you want in that file, as long as the resulting response is returning the PDF file back to the client.
With the display none it will never show up, you probably should use jQuery, I'd added an ID to the "a"
<iframe style="display:none;" name="target"></iframe>
<a href="script.php" id="openPdf" target="target">
and when click:
$(document).on("click","#openPDF",function(){
$("iframe").css("display","block");
});
I'd like to give the user the possibility to download or stream the same media. I tried this way (adding download) but it doesn't work:
<a target='_blank' href='http://another/site/file.mp4' download>DOWNLOAD</a>
<a target='_blank' href='http://another/site/file.mp4'>STREAMING</a>
I create the page using php 5.6
Note that the file is always the same: http://another/site/file.mp4 and comes from a different domain (The <a> urls are in site1 and the media is in site2 )
The download attribute on <a> tags only work with the following:
The URL must be the same origin as the HTML document.
The browser must be Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (10) or Opera (15)
I'm going to assume the URL is from another website, and that's why it's not working.
I am trying to call images in this function, but they all come up as question marks. Could anyone tell me what I did wrong?
if(!$currentvotes) $currentvotes = 0;
echo '<div class="vote vote'.$id.'"><span>'.$currentvotes.'</span>';
if($user_ID && !$alreadyVoted) echo '<br /><a post="'.$id.'" user="'.$user_ID.'"><img src="/images/thumbsup.png" WIDTH=25 HEIGHT=25></a>';
if($user_ID && $alreadyVoted) echo '<br /><span class="voted"><img src="/images/thumbsup.png" WIDTH=25 HEIGHT=25></span>';
echo '</div>';
if(!$user_ID) echo '<div class="signup"><p><a style="color:#4ec1f3;" href="'.get_bloginfo('url').'/wp-login.php?action=register"><img src="/images/thumbsup.png" WIDTH=25 HEIGHT=25></p></div>';
}
I am trying to call images in this function
As in the comments:
You can't 'call' an image. You can call functions, methods,
procedures, code but images are data and can't be 'called'. – Patashu
[...] they all come up as question marks
Right click on those question marks: choose "open image in new window". You should see a new page with a 404 error. Look at the link of that page: that's the path where your image is supposed to be (if you're getting a 404 error it simply means they are not there). Create the folder images and upload the file thumbsup.png. Now reload the page.
I suppose the path you are using has to be absolute eg (http://.../images/myimage.jpg) instead /images/myimage.jpg. This is common issue when you write custom code (don't use standard framework) and use .htaccess to rewrite urls.
You can set basepath as constant so you can easy change it if you switch domains.
define("BASE_PATH", "http://mydomain.com");
and then in code use it:
BASE_PATH."/images/myimage.jpg"
Or use base tag in your head in html
<base href="http://www.yourdomain" target="_blank">
And as Saturnix said in his answer you should have folder named "images" and filename you put in src.
If an image can't be found in the location you specify in your HTML, the browser will display a broken image link marker, maybe like one of these;
Chrome
IE10
Firefox 10
Each browser has its own marker. Maybe your browser uses a question mark to indicate a broken image link.
I am trying to do the following; dynamically pick a server with the image on it, and then show said image in img src="". Yeah I know, I am horrible at explaining stuff like this but this should clear it up:
dl-main.php (on server0.domain.com)
$url = 'http://server2.domain.com/offerimage.php?f='.$_GET["f"];
header( 'Location: '.$url ) ;
offerimage.php (on server2.domain.com)
//Lots of link-protection stuff here
$f = "/".$_GET["f"];
$url = 'http://server2.domain.com'.$uri_prefix.$m.'/'.$t_hex.$f;
echo' <img src="'.$url.'"></img> ';
dl.php (on many other servers)
img src="http://server0.domain.com/dl-main.php?f=lalala.gif"
So it pretty much goes like this: Random person adds img src directing to dl-main.php?f=filename on server0. server0 then decides which server will provide the image. In the above example I am using only one server; server2
Now I simply want dl.php to show the photo hosted on server2.domain.com .
As it stands when I directly visit dl-main.php it succesfully redirects me to dl.php, which then succesfully shows me the image I requested. But when I use dl-main.php in a img src it doesn't show the image. I didn't expect it to work but it was worth a shot, but now I don't know what to do anymore :o
I hope this failed attempt is a good example of what I'm trying to accomplish here.
Thanks!
Here's the problem. You call image from server0 using:
<img src="http://server0.whatever/dl-main.php?f=thatimage.something" />
Where the dl-main.php code redirects to server2. Here, you do:
echo' <img src="'.$url.'"></img> ';
So basically the original img tag would get another img tag instead of the image data. That's why the browser can't render the image. You should echo the content of the image instead of an img tag.
Try using your browser's developer tools and check the request to server2 to verify my guess.
It can't work, your second script (offerimage) is producing text/plain, you should produce image/...in order to use img
We have an xml word doc with image on title page that downloads correctly via ftp but the image is always missing if we try to download it via a link in an html page. We're using Firefox if that makes a difference. But we also tried it using Opera, with the same results.
Here's the link we're using:
$fileDest = './mydoc.xml';
<a type="msword" href="<?php echo $fileDest; ?>"><input type="button" value="Download Document" /></a>
You serve different files via FTP and HTTP.
