I can download my microsoft word successfully if I named it in the filename by default. But if I use $variables to name it. The document extension will be unknown.
Sample:
$No = 1;
$Name = 'John';
$Test = 'Science';
//Download header
$document->save($doc);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/msword');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='$No_$Name_$Test.docx");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($doc));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($doc);
So if i rename my filename as variables. The file download will be without the docx extension. Anyone can advise?
Thanks
Correct headers are
for Excel (*.xlsx):
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="' . $fileName . '"');
for Word (*.docx):
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="' . $fileName . '"');
Change this
header('Content-Type: application/msword');
to
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
EDIT:
And change
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='$No_$Name_$Test.docx");
to
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"{$No}_{$Name}_{$Test}.docx\"");
The correct use of that header is:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="fname.ext" note that if the name contains spaces it must be quoted
See RFC6266 section 5. Examples

I have files of different extensions, So how can I define multiple extensions in one header. for example
header("Content-type: application/xml");
header("Content-type: application/txt");
Is there any possibilities are there, to define in a single header something like this
header("Content-type: application/xml txt");
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
If you want in downloading any type of file you can just use application/octet-stream.
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
// for example this will download any type of file
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . basename($file) . '"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
code.php
$code = $_GET["code"];
$file = 'code/'.$code.'.html';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
}
Generated URL to download the file:
http://www.example.com/code.php?code=yoursite.com_nbsp63ibrf
Well, I want to forcing download the html file, above code not working and it just preview the file at browser!
file_exists() returns false. Change your path with document root:
$code = $_GET["code"];
$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/code/' . $code . '.html'; // set your path from document root.
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
}
Try changing the content type to match the file type and setting the transfer encoding to binary:
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Type: text/html');
Try this
$code = $_GET["code"];
$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/code/' . $code . '.html'; // set your path from document root.
if (file_exists($file)) {
header("Content-Type: text/html");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
}
unfortunately it was a encoding issue. I changed code.php encoding from UTF-8 to UTF-8 Without BOM then problem solved. Thanks for all answers and helps. I forgot that PHP header only works with UTF-8 Without BOM.
This is actually not possible.
The browser can always decide on its own, if the file should be downloaded or not.
The furthest you can go is sending the content-disposition header.
I am using PHPWord to download docx files in php. But nothing gets printed in the file if I try to download it. But the contents get displayed in the file which gets saved on the server. Below is the code which I have used. Can anyone please tell me what the issue is.
<?php
include "../includes/config.inc.php";
include '../PHPWord.php';
// Create a new PHPWord Object
$PHPWord = new PHPWord();
// Every element you want to append to the word document is placed in a section. So you need a section:
$section = $PHPWord->createSection();
$section->addText('CANDIDATES DETAILS');
$filename='test';
$file=$filename.'.docx';
$objWriter = PHPWord_IOFactory::createWriter($PHPWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('/form_doc/'.$filename.'.docx');
//download the file
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$file);
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
Thanks in advance.

Your should set path to file to readfile() and filesize() functions:
$file = $filename.'.docx';
$filepath = '/form_doc/' . $file;
$objWriter = PHPWord_IOFactory::createWriter($PHPWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save($filepath);
//download the file
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$file);
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filepath));
readfile($filepath);
I see this tutorial to make download file but I have a problem
Here is my example
$file_url = "D:/my file name.doc"
header('Content-Type: text/json; charset=UTF-8;');
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file_url)."");
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($file_url));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file_url);
Everything's well in ie or chrome. But when I using firefox to download file. The file download has my is the file name? How to fix that thanks
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' .basename($file_url).'"');
First of all you are missing ; on the end of the first line.
I think the problem is in filename with spaces.
Try to use readfile(urlencode($file_url)); instead of readfile($file_url);
You should quote filename.
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . basename($file_url) . '"');
EDIT: It was as selected answer just with typo in it. Now I fixed it.
I was trying to write a script through which user can download the image directly.
Here is the code i end up with,
<?php
$fileContents = file_get_contents('http://xxx.com/images/imageName.jpg');
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.urlencode("http://xxx.com/images/imageName.jpg"));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($fileContents));
ob_clean();
flush();
echo $fileContents;
exit;
?>
But everytime i hit the url for the above script in the browser it returns a file with zero byte data.
would you like to help me to resolve this problem ?
Try the code below
<?php
$file_name = 'file.png';
$file_url = 'http://www.myremoteserver.com/' . $file_name;
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$file_name."\"");
readfile($file_url);
?>

I notice that you use filesize on the contents of the file instead of at the filename itself;
Your code would work if it was:
<?php
$filename = 'http://xxx.com/images/imageName.jpg';
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.urlencode($filename));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filename));
ob_clean(); // not necessary
flush(); // not necessary
echo file_get_contents($filename); // or just use readfile($filename);
exit;
?>
