Help me please!
I'm trying to download the file using script from remote server. Script starts downloading, but hangs (in chrome shows "starting" and hangs).(I installed MAMP locally and tried to download file from local server and it's works fine.)
Maybe there are wrong configurations in php.ini file?
The script i'm using:
<?php
$url = "http://cs4-2v4.vk.me/p22/fbb2ec25fb8f67.mp3";
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=music.mp3");
ob_flush();
flush();
$fp = fopen($url, "rb");
while (!feof($fp))
{
print(fread($fp,8192));
ob_flush();
flush();
}
fclose($fp);
?>
Thanks!
$file_name = '1353.zip';
$file_url = 'http://download.krizna.com/' . $file_name;
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$file_name."\"");
readfile($file_url);
Thanks to everyone who responded.
The error was that the file does not exist with this link (file_exists($path) not works for url's). On the local server everything worked because the request came from the same IP address, from under which user has been registered in a social network vk.com.

I have xampp web server, and trying to download file using headers! Don't know what is wrong, but file not starting to download and not appears in browser! In http response I have the source of file!
header("Content-disposition: attachment;filename=d:\\archive\\result.csv");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
readfile("sample.pdf");
Can any one halp me, please!
Try this
header('Content-Type: application/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file:///D:\archive\result.csv' );
I have many files stored in a NAS. The NAS is attached to a server as network drive (lets say, it is on Y://).
I use xampp to serve my application built in php. The application was built to serve users to download the files from NAS, directly through http instead of ftp.
So can I set the files from NAS, so it can be downloaded by using http URL, like example.com/files/the-file.zip ?
The xampp is located at C:// directory
Note: The xampp htdocs has already set to accessed by a domain. So it is not domain pointing problem
You could try so through PHP:
<?php
$downloadFolder = 'Y:/';
$fileName = $downloadFolder . $_GET['file'];
$sanitizedFileName = realpath($fileName);
if($fileName !== $sanitizedFileName) {
throw new RuntimeException('Someone tried to escape');
}
// As seen in http://php.net/readfile:
if (file_exists($fileName)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($fileName).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($fileName));
readfile($fileName);
exit;
}
Or find a way to run everything through .htaccess, but that might give you less control over security handling (probably, you don't want to serve files from other directories or other drives)
Now I am developing codeigniter site.
I have one issue.
In order to read&open pdf into web browser.
header("Content-type:application/pdf");
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel'); //mime type
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0'); //no cache
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=\"".$file."\"");
readfile($filePath);
above code $file is filename and $filePath is pdf file path.
When it runs on local server, $filePath is value such as "http://localhost/.pdf" and it runs well.
But when runs on hosting server, this value is "http://.com/***.pdf"
And doesn't run.
We can not open with pdf format error.
file content didn't include readed.
I know that is cause of URL issue.
But I have no issue!
Your Content-Disposition should be inline if you want to display the file in the browser and not as a download but I guess it doesn't really matter if you can get it to work.
If your allow_url_fopen config in PHP is set to Off, you will not be able to read URL file from within your PHP script.
Anyway, your code should look something like this.
<?php
$file = "lesson2.pdf";
$filePath = "http://kmmc.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/lesson2.pdf";
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Cache-Control: max-age=0");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"" . $file . "\"");
readfile($filePath);
I wrote a script on PHP running on Wamp Server, which forces a download of a .txt file. The script looks as follows:
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
$newfile = "data.txt";
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . urlencode($newfile));
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($newfile));
flush(); // this doesn't really matter.
$fp = fopen($newfile, "r");
while (!feof($fp))
{
echo fread($fp, 65536);
flush(); // this is essential for large downloads
}
fclose($fp);
This code is working well.
But the problem is, I've connected my Android device to PC, and able to download this file by using any other browsers, but NOT Android Default Web Browser.
Does anybody know why the download fails on the default browser? But can be downloaded from other on Android?
The Android browser is really picky about the HTTP headers for some reason.
This page will give you some insight about the matter: http://www.digiblog.de/2011/04/android-and-the-download-file-headers/
To quote part of the page, if you use this line of code, it probably won't work.
Content-Type: application/force-download
The page also gives you some possible solutions.
I have the following problem with a server, there many variables at play. So this is what happened. Everything was working perfect when I developed a small webapp with zend on my desktop on fedora. Then I transfer the app to a server on dreamhost and everything worked fine.
So the problem comes with the client that needed a server on china, because they are behind the great firewall and they wanted to transfer their files really faster. They had huge files, around 3.4 GB. so they gave me windows 2003 machine virtual machine, and they couldnt change it to linux, and that is when everything went on a downward spiral.
Basically my app had a folder outside the documentroot, where all the files where going to be upload via ftp. My app read the files and only allowed logged users to download the files.
This is my plugin - controller
<?php
class Mapache_Controller_Plugin_AssetGrabber
extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function dispatchLoopStartup (Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
if ($request->getControllerName() != 'assets')
return;
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
if (!$auth->hasIdentity())
throw new Exception('Not authenticated!');
//$file = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../assets/' . $request->getActionName();
$file = APPLICATION_PATH . '/..' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$file = str_replace("_", " ", $file);
// echo $file;
if (file_exists($file)) {
header("Content-type: ".$this->new_mime_content_type($file));
header('Content-disposition: attachment;');
//header('Content-type: '.$this->new_mime_content_type($file));
//readfile('$file');
echo file_get_contents($file);
}
}
function new_mime_content_type($filename){
$result = new finfo();
if (is_resource($result) === true){
return $result->file($filename, FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
}
return false;
}
}
The only thing I changed for it to work on windows, was adding
$file="d:/". $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];, so it knows to look on the D: drive of the server.
so basically i have another php file that does an scandir an lists all the files and directories and creates a link to URL/assets/folder/file, it works fine on my test server even with big files. But when I try to download a zip file fo 200 mb from the windows server I get a corrupted zip file of 228 or 229 bytes, like just the header.
The server has xammp with zend installed, I am going crazy.
Migrating back to my dreamhost server will take days, I installed an rsync client on the server and started copying the files but in the last 4 it has only copy 400mb, so my 30 Gb of data will take days.
When i log on to the server with rdesktop and try to download the files I still get 228 bytes of files instead of 200mb or even 3.4Gb.
It has windows 2003.
Do I have to configure something on the apache server, something on the httpd.conf or php.ini?
I found the answer, I need to properly download the file
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
//header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-type: '.$this->new_mime_content_type($file));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
set_time_limit(0);
$filex = #fopen($file,"rb");
while(!feof($filex))
{
print(#fread($filex, 1024*8));
ob_flush();
flush();
}
//ob_clean();
//flush();
//readfile($file);
