test.php code:
$fileloc = 'audio.mp3';
header('Content-type: audio/mpeg');
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=$filename");
header('Content-Length:'.filesize($fileloc));
readfile($fileloc);
html code:
<iframe src="test.php"></iframe>
here is the updated code that is working.
thanks hafichuk
if anyone knows a way to do this with
<embed> or <object> rather than <iframe>
please share your code or send me a link.
Try changing your content type to audio/mpeg3.
Update 1:
Since it's downloading the file as an attachment, you could also try changing the content-disposition to header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=audio.mp3');
The reference I found for this was for swf files in the embed tag, however I would imagine that you should do the same.
I know this is old, but I found a simple way to accomplish this, yet it might not be the prettiest, but
here it is!
test.php:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['file'])) {
echo file_get_contents('music.mp3');
exit;
}
<audio src="test.php?file" controls></audio>
You simply extract the file using file_get_contents and output it, using the php file as the sound file, pretty neat :P

We are trying to create a webpage in laravel where people are going to be able upload their codefiles to our server, so that other users can watch the code and download it in codefiles if they like it. We however can't figure out the best way to make this happen.
I tried to just let php get a file and echo out the content. this worked well fot html and css, but with php nothing got displayed what so ever. someone mentioned using eval(), however i've read that it is a really bad idea to do so. Another idea would be to stash the code in a database and fetch it from there, which we have tried before, but it sort of over complicated, and avoiding to do so would be prefereable, and instead go directly to i file.
So my question is, do anybody have an idea that might work safely, both for us and our server and for the users.
Something like this:
<?php
// read Codefile
$TheCode = file_get_contents($codefile);
// Print it...
echo htmlentities($TheCode);
?>
Save the php code in a flat file like one with a .dat extension.
then read the file.
$toechp = file(static.dat);
echo $toecho;
You can allow .dat files to be downloaded on browser using headers.
<?php
$file = "http://example.com/static.dat";
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
readfile ($file);
?>
and you are done.
I'm sure this is a simple task, but on my wordpress site I want to create a download button that forces an .mp3 download, without opening a player (when left clicked), or the user having to right-click 'save target as'. I just need a straight forward button, that when left-clicked causes a file to be downloaded (as well as being easily trackable by Google Analytics).
Is a .php script required for this? You'd think this would be a very common function, and easy to solve....but I have spent hours on this and have been unable to get anything to work.
*if it's not obvious my coding skills are nearly non-existent.
I really appreciate anybody's time who can help me figure this out. Thanks!
***EDIT
Just found this on another post, but no comments if it would work or not. It was for a .pdf file though...
<?php
if (isset($_GET['file'])) {
$file = $_GET['file'] ;
if (file_exists($file) && is_readable($file) && preg_match('/\.pdf$/',$file)) {
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
readfile($file);
}
} else {
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
echo "<h1>Error 404: File Not Found: <br /><em>$file</em></h1>";
}
?>
Save the above as download.php
Save this little snippet as a PHP file somewhere on your server and you can use it to make a file download in the browser, rather than display directly. If you want to serve files other than PDF, remove or edit line 5.
You can use it like so:
Add the following link to your HTML file.
Download the cool PDF.
Well, this is possible, but you need to write a script to do it. This is a pretty poor (security and basic coding wise) from http://youngdigitalgroup.com.au/tutorial-force-download-mp3-file-streaming/
file: downloadit.php
<?php
header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
header ("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
?>
you would then place it into a publicly accessible folder and build your links as such:
http://www.yoursite.com/downloadit.php?file=/uploads/dir/file.mp3
what this does is tells the browser to treat the file as a stream of bytes, rather than a particular MIME type which the browser would ordinarily do based on the file extension.
Im trying to get a website to have a button that forces a download of a pdf.
Heres the html of the button:
<a href=scripts/download.php>
<input type="image" src="images/download.gif" alt="Submit button"/>
</a>
And the php script so far:
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-disposition: attachment;filename=documents/ECM_IT_ResumeDownload.pdf');
readfile('documents/ECM_IT_ResumeDownload.pdf');
?>
This seems to download the file fine but when I go to open it i get this error:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'documents_ECM_IT_ResumeDownload.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
Opened the pdf in a text editor and got this message:
"
Warning: readfile(documents/ECM_IT_ResumeDownload.pdf) [function.readfile]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in html/scripts/download.php on line 4
"
The document is definitely there though. in html/documents/ECM_IT_ResumeDownload.pdf
$file_url = www.example.com/pdffolder/$pdfname;
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$pdfname);
readfile($file_url);
Try removing the path to the file and just leave the file name in the content:
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=ECM_IT_ResumeDownload.pdf');
Have you tried getting rid of the closing PHP tag (the ?>) at the end? It will treat the page as a pure PHP page, removing any possible new lines that might accidentally get appended to the end of the output. This helped me when I was dynamically creating excel files for download, and they were downloading as corrupted. Check out this page for more information:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php
From your edited question, it seems like PHP is unable to find the file. Try using an absolute path to the file like so: "c:\blah\de\blah\bloo.pdf" or "c:/blah/de/blah/bloo.pdf". If one of those paths works and downloads correctly, your relative path is incorrect in some way.
I always use Gowon Patterson's download script, it also has hotlink protection:
http://by.gowondesigns.com/getfile/
By the way, a bit late, but to identify the problem properly here:
Your download script is at scripts/download.php and the file you want to download is at documents/[...].pdf.
Therefore, your readfile() function should be traversing to the parent directory (outside of scripts/), e.g. readfile('../documents/[...].pdf');.
I'm using http://undesigned.org.za/2007/10/22/amazon-s3-php-class/documentation to access private files using php. I can get the data of the file by saying $object->body. I actually want to see the image in the browser or play the video in a video player. Is there a way to do that?
I think I need something like readfile. The problem is readfile is I need the path to the file. The path is private so I cannot use that. Is there a way to do a readfile of the binary data?
I put this in the php thinking this would help but it still displays the binary data.
header('Content: image/jpeg');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=IMAG0108.jpg');
echo $object->body;
You just set the content-type header and output the readfile to the browser. What I do is create a new php file, like "showimage.php", that accepts an ID or some such to know what image to display. Then I use it in a browser page: .
In showimage.php, something like:
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
readfile('/var/images/' . $_GET['id'] . '.png');
// or
// echo $object->body;
?>
That would read a file from the local system and output it as an image. Off the top of my head, so I might have messed up that code!
header('Content: image/jpeg');
echo $object->body;
Should work fine (for JPEGs), you need know what filetype is in question and then send appropriate content headers.
I have a php script that generates a pdf report. When we go to save the pdf document, the filename that Acrobat suggests is report_pdf, since the php script is named report_pdf.php. I would like to dynamically name the pdf file, so I don't have to type the appropriate name for the report each time that I save it.
Asking on a news group, someone suggested this, where filename="July Report.pdf" is the intended name of the report
<?
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-disposition: filename="July Report.pdf"');
But it doesn't work. Am I doing it wrong, or will this work at all? Is this a job for mod_rewrite?
So I've tried both
header('Content-disposition: inline; filename="July Report.pdf"');
and
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="July Report.pdf"');
( not at the same time ) and neither work for me. Is this a problem with my web host? For this url, here's my code:
<?
header('Content-disposition: inline; filename="July Report.pdf"');
// requires the R&OS pdf class
require_once('class.ezpdf.php');
require_once('class.pdf.php');
// make a new pdf object
$pdf = new Cpdf();
// select the font
$pdf->selectFont('./fonts/Helvetica');
$pdf->addText(30,400,30,'Hello World');
$pdf->stream();
?>
Try:
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="July Report.pdf"');
or
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="July Report.pdf"');
Another option would be to use the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] to pass your "July Report.pdf" - an example link might be:
<a href="report_pdf.php/July%20Report.pdf?month=07">
That file should default to saving as "July Report.pdf" - and should behave exactly like your old php script did, just change the code that produces the link to the pdf.
Should be:
header('Content-disposition: attachment;filename="July Report.pdf"');
Based on https://github.com/rospdf/pdf-php/raw/master/readme.pdf (Page 19)
The stream-method accepts an array as parameter:
stream([array options])
Used for output, this will set the required headers and output the pdf code.
The options array can be used to set a number of things about the output:
'Content-Disposition'=>'filename' sets the filename, ...
This code works well for me
$ezOutput = $pdf->ezStream(array("Content-Disposition"=>"YourFileName.pdf"));
In my case I use ezStream() but I think stream() should give the same result.
For the name shown on the title tab in the browser
I had the same problem, then i found that it's metadata missing inside my .pdf.
I used a tools ("debenu PDF tools") for edit pdf property like author, title, etc...
I just change title from empty field to what title I want, upload the new pdf and now, with same code, same script the browser show the right name!
For the name when u ask to save document
is what u specify in header filename=
Did you try to remove spaces from file name using hyphens? So, I think its name must be like this; filename=July-Report.pdf
