I have this form where you enter text into a text area and on submit php generates a text file which is supposed to contain the text that was entered in the text area.
But the problem is from the code i wrote, the text file does download but has no text in it.
So i change the text area into an input field with type text, and it returns the data in the text file, but with no line breaks. Here is my code
<html><body>
<form action="download.php" method="post">
<textarea id="output" name="output"></textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="op" type="hidden" id="fakeop" >
<input type="submit">
</body></html>
And the contents of php file are
<?php
$filename = 'random.txt';
$somecontent = $_REQUEST["output"];
!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w+');
fwrite($handle, $somecontent);
fclose($handle);
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Length: ". filesize("$filename").";");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream; ");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile($filename);
?>
if i change to $somecontent = $_REQUEST["op"];
it does return the text file with the contents. but why not when its output.?
Hello Please Test the php page with below code
<?php
$filename = 'random.txt';
$somecontent = $_POST["output"];
!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w+');
fwrite($handle, $somecontent);
fclose($handle);
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Length: ". filesize("$filename").";");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream; ");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile($filename);
?>

This problem is different of the other question problem. That problem was about IF condition. But this problem, instead of downloading file, it is printing on next page. Please don't confuse this question with others.
I have wrote a script which download output of text box. This script works fine on local server, it download the file successfully but when I put script on live server, the download file does not work. When download output button is clicked, instead of downloading file the output of page is shown on next page.
See live script here: http://www.globalitsoft.net/scripts/test.php
Here is the code of script:
<?php
error_reporting(0);
$mytext = "";
$txt = preg_replace('/\n+/', "\n", trim($_POST['inputtext']));
$text = explode("\n", $txt);
$output = array();
if(isset($_POST["submit"]) || isset($_POST["download"]) ) {
for($i=0;$i<count($text);$i++) {
$output[] .= trim($text[$i]) . ' AAAAA'.PHP_EOL;
}
}
if(isset($_POST["download"]) ) {
ob_clean();
$filename = "file-name-" .date('mdY-His'). '.txt';
$handle = fopen('php://output', "w");
fwrite($handle, implode($output));
fclose($handle);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream charset=utf-8");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($filename).'"');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: ' . strlen(implode($output)));
readfile($filename);
exit();
}
?>
<form method="POST" action="test.php">
<textarea name="inputtext" rows="10" cols="100" placeholder="Enter Any Text!" required><?php if(!empty($_POST["inputtext"])) { echo $_POST["inputtext"]; } ?></textarea>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Do it!">
<br><br>
<p>Output goes here. </p>
<textarea name="oputputtext" rows="10" cols="100" ><?php echo implode($output);?></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="download" value="Download Output">
</form>
This works for me:
$handle = fopen("file.txt", "w");
fwrite($handle, "text1.....");
fclose($handle);
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
//You dont need to enclose the filename value in quotes
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename('file.txt'));
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize('file.txt'));
readfile('file.txt');
exit;

Updated:
Form submitted for MP3 form works.
But form submitted for MP4 doesn't works.
Please provide an solution to make it work.
Only first php file calls are working because of the following if condition:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
Since downloadmp3.php has been included first therefore it's if condition is giving the result.
Use proper form handler to make it work.
Also the best practice is to use unique names for the forms.
This code is working fine for me in all the browsers and the downloaded file is playing good :
download-audio.php
<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
header ('Content-type: octet/stream');
header ('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$file.';');
header('Content-Length: '.filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
?>
test.html
<a href='download-audio.php?file=duetsong.mp3'>Download Duet song MP3</a>
<a href='download-audio.php?file=duetsong.mp4'>Download Duet song MP4</a>
In my website I want the users to download a music file when a button is clicked. The problem I am experiencing is that when the button is clicked the download starts but only 506 KB on a total of 4 MB are downloaded and when it is opened it shows unsupported format. I use this php download script with html form to make the download:
HTML FORM
<FORM ACTION="download.php" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="music" VALUE= "music/<? print $file; ?>" >
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="download" VALUE="Download">
</FORM>
PHP DOWNLOAD SCRIPT
<?php
$FileName = $_POST["music"];
$FilePath = "music";
$size = filesize($FilePath . $FileName);
header("Content-Type: application/force-download; name=\"". $FileName ."\"");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ". $size ."");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"". $FileName ."\"");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: private");
header("Pragma: private");
echo (readfile($FilePath . $FileName));
?>
Can you please point me to the problem?
Your code is looking for a file in a location like:
musicmusic/file.mp3
Assuming your file is actually stored in something like music/file.mp3, and variable $file contains something like file.mp3, you want to replace:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="music" VALUE= "music/<? print $file; ?>">
with:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="music" VALUE= "<? print $file; ?>">
and then replace this:
$FilePath = "music";
with:
$FilePath = "music/";
(or delete $FilePath at all)
Also, I would recommend you to check $_POST["music"] doesn't contain .. or start with / before you let anyone download any file from your server.
I have store a sample document inside my local server named template.doc. Then I store the file directory inside my sqlite table. I manage to call out the path of the file directory but how can I allow the user to download it?
Codes
<form id="List" name="List" method="post" action="">
<select name="List" id="List">
<?php
if ($Choice !="No")
{
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/WEB/";
$fullPath = $path.$_GET['$Choice'];
echo "<form id=\"form7\" name=\"form7\" method=\"post\" action=\"\">";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Download\" id=\"Download\" value=".$fullPath."/>";
if (file_exists($fullPath))
{
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($fullPath));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($fullPath));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($fullPath);
echo "<label>".$fullPath."</label>";
echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Download\" id=\"Download\" value=".$fullPath."/>";
exit;
echo '</form>';
}

How to create a button below the list form and download the microsoft word? It now flushes out the Microsoft word text on the website now, not on the button.
Kindly advise if it's possible to do it. Just for local testing. Thanks alot!
You can use readfile and set the appropriate headers to force a download.
Example from readfile domestication page:
<?php
$file = 'monkey.gif';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
exit;
}
?>
Your form should look something like this
<form name="download" action="download.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="fileID" value="some file identifier" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Download File" />
</form>
Then, in download.php
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$file = $_POST['fileID'];
// download file
}
