Download file from url as attachment - php

Question

I am unable to set proper headers to download file from URL.
Below code just shows content of URL in browser instead download.
$file_name = "image1.jpg";
$content_type = "image/jpeg";
$url = "http://ctan.imsc.res.in/macros/latex/contrib/incgraph/example.jpg";
header('Pragma: public'); // required
header('Expires: 0'); // no cache
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate ('D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime ($file_name)).' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: private',false);
header("Content-type: ".$content_type);
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file_name);
header("Location: ".$url);
exit(0);
Thanks in Advance.

$originalPath = $_REQUEST['path']; //path with filename
$fileName = $_REQUEST['fileName']; // filename for downloaded file name
if (file_exists($originalPath)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($fileName));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($originalPath));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($originalPath);
exit;
} else {
echo 'FILE_NOT_FOUND';
}

this code is work fine to download from url :
set_time_limit(0);
//File to save the contents to
$fp = fopen ('file.type', 'w+');
$url = "http://yoursite.come/file.type";
//Here is the file we are downloading, replace spaces with %20
$ch = curl_init(str_replace(" ","%20",$url));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 50);
//give curl the file pointer so that it can write to it
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);//get curl response
//done
curl_close($ch);
?>

Download file from url(in list) and save the file with last name of the url using python
import urllib.request as urllib2
import re,os
for url in open('C:\\Users\\SRINU\\Desktop\\Election_pdfs_urls\\33.txt'):
possible_urls = re.findall(r'(https?://[^\s]+)', url)
for links in possible_urls:
response = urllib2.urlopen(links.format(url.encode('utf-8')))
filename_w_ext = os.path.basename(links)
file = open(filename_w_ext, 'wb')
file.write(response.read())
file.close()
