Why this code is not working on linux server? - php

Question

I am new to the Zend Framework, and this code is used for downloading contents.
This code is working on localhost but when I try to execute it on a linux server
it shows error file not found.
public function downloadAnnouncementsAction()
{
$file= $this->_getParam('file');
$file = str_replace("%2F","/",$this->_getParam('file'));
// Allow direct file download (hotlinking)?
// Empty - allow hotlinking
// If set to nonempty value (Example: example.com) will only allow downloads when referrer contains this text
define('ALLOWED_REFERRER', '');
// Download folder, i.e. folder where you keep all files for download.
// MUST end with slash (i.e. "/" )
define('BASE_DIR','file_upload');
// log downloads? true/false
define('LOG_DOWNLOADS',true);
// log file name
define('LOG_FILE','downloads.log');
// Allowed extensions list in format 'extension' => 'mime type'
// If myme type is set to empty string then script will try to detect mime type
// itself, which would only work if you have Mimetype or Fileinfo extensions
// installed on server.
$allowed_ext = array (
// audio
'mp3' => 'audio/mpeg',
'wav' => 'audio/x-wav',
// video
'mpeg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mpg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mpe' => 'video/mpeg',
'mov' => 'video/quicktime',
'avi' => 'video/x-msvideo'
);
// If hotlinking not allowed then make hackers think there are some server problems
if (ALLOWED_REFERRER !== ''
&& (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) || strpos(strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']),strtoupper(ALLOWED_REFERRER)) === false)
) {
die("Internal server error. Please contact system administrator.");
}
// Make sure program execution doesn't time out
// Set maximum script execution time in seconds (0 means no limit)
set_time_limit(0);
if (!isset($file) || empty($file)) {
die("Please specify file name for download.");
}
// Nullbyte hack fix
if (strpos($file, "\0") !== FALSE)
die('');
// Get real file name.
// Remove any path info to avoid hacking by adding relative path, etc.
$fname = basename($file);
// Check if the file exists
// Check in subfolders too

The two typical issues I often see between local Windows (XP) dev environment and a Linux production environment are:
File permissions. Linux typically has a more restrictive model of file permissions.
Case-sensitivity of the filenames: Linux filenames are case-sensitive. In Windows, they are not.
Different directory separator: Windows uses \, Linux uses /. The PHP constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR always contains the right value for the OS (thanks to #Svish).
Different include path separator: Windows uses ;, Linux uses :. The PHP constant PATH_SEPARATOR always contains the right value for the OS.
