i am trying to make a download link in html that is given like this for a PDF Book
Download
but problem is that when download link is clicked it opens online version of pdf , does not offer download , i did google and found same way to add download link , any one can guide me with it please whats wrong here
As of late 2018, clicking the link won’t trigger a download if the resource to be downloaded wasn’t served from the same origin or same server. Apparently, this is restriction is a security measure.
You can download the content in browser and make it downloadable, you can check the below url

you can try this
Download
HTML5 defines the download attribute, which forces the browser to prompt the user a download dialog for the resource instead of navigate to it.
Here is the support across the different browsers: http://caniuse.com/#feat=download.
Its not the problem with your script, instead its your browser that has pdf plug-in and displays you the content file directly.You can just save the page (Press CTRL+S) and it would be saved as .PDF file.
Thanks.
The HTML5 download attribute is only supported by Chrome and firefox... Try this :
Download
Download.php
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=http://www.mydomain.org/pdf/book.pdf");
header("Content-type: application/pdf:");
readfile("http://www.mydomain.org/pdf/book.pdf");
if you want to download the pdf in next tab with current website intact then use following code:
Download

I want to know how to download file PDF from URL link or another source.
Example :
I have this link : www.nba.com/gamenotes/warriors.pdf if you click that link your browser automatically read the PDF and show the PDF or you can automatically download the PDF file using third party apps.
And i want to know a PHP code that download the PDF file from that link for example and save it to my computer
The idea is is
Load file from URL and then put content to user to download it.
file_put_contents("Tmpfile.zip", file_get_contents("http://someurl/file.zip"));
Try this
Download File to server from URL

I am using joomla 2.5 with ROXBOX plugin and using this showing the PDF's in lightbox. I am facing problem when user configured Firefox auto download PDF files.
When Firefox configured as save PDF instead of open it in browser the light box stays blank and file started download. As we can not have control on browser, is there any way show any message when Firefox auto download for PDF is enabled?
Please Help!!
I assume you want the PDF to display in the browser, rather than forcing a download. If that is the case, try setting the Content-Disposition header with a value of inline. and 'Content-type to application/pdf.
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="the.pdf"');
You can use PHP to set header as shown above.
I am accessing this URL with my android device and the pdf download starts downloading automatically, without asking me to open the pdf vieth the pdf viewer.
This works in other websites.
I am the developer of the website. I set up the header to application/pdf. Any idea what can be the problem? Thank you.
Ok, I identified the problem and found the workaround.
It seems that the native android browser in not very intelligent. In fact, when a file is dowmloaded, the header of the file is not checked. The browser checks only the extension of the file in the url.
In my url, at the end we had /pdf, so no extension was found. By renaming the end of the url to xxx.pdf, the browser was able to recognize the file as a pdf.
I have create a CSV file in my php code,
after create CSV, I try to open the CSV using window.open(),
this will work fine all browser except IE 7 and IE 8,
in IE a new window open then it close automatically
how to solve this problem,
If I recall, Internet Explorer has a peculiar quirk when trying to open files, even if the proper MIME type is set in the header.
You may need to do the following to get the CSV to download:
Go to Tools > Internet Options
Select the Security tab, then press the Custom Level... button
Scroll down to the Downloads section, and under Automatic prompting for file downloads select Enable
Hopefully, that should resolve the issue.
Try adding the following at the beginning of your script:
header('Content-Disposition:inline');
This should direct the browser to display the file instead of prompting a download, which may be the problem.
I have a simple PHP script that will either serve up a streaming ASF file or not, depending on whether you're logged in and have access to the file. It basically does this:
<?php
header('Content-Type: video/x-ms-asf');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="file.asf"');
readfile('file.asf');
?>
This already works fine in Firefox; when you navigate to this file it starts the video streaming right away. But Internet Explorer is a different story. When I go to this link in IE, it consistently tries to download the file as if it were an attachment rather than streaming it in the browser. What I am missing that IE's getting hung up on?
I don't think you need to add the Content-Disposition. Did you try removing it?
It look like that your IE or Media Player isn't correctly configured. Check this link link text for more details.
From your description, it sounds like your IE is configured to save a .asf file rather than stream it. Perhaps you can try opening a similar file on your local drive in IE to check whether it's configured to stream it.
