why are you using exec() to run 'find'??? what is wrong with glob()?
The files I¹m linking to, in order to let the User download them, reside on
a mounted share on my system. They are on in the Apache Web Server htdocs
folder where my website resides. How do I make these files available to
download if they are not in my webserver folder?
via a php script that outputs the relevant headers and uses readfile() on the
relevant file.
Thanks!

He asked a way to do what he wanted in the thread Show files using
Wildcards, There somebody came up with the idea using find.

Yes, and while I dig up on glob(), to be quite honest, the exec is working
very effectively and fast for my searches download application - so can't
complain about it one bit.

A very simple way is to link the

Didn't test it, but it should work though. Else you need to create
some download script. (header, file_get_contents,echo)

I think following symlinks can be switched off in apache configuration
by default (however I'm absolutely not sure about this...) - so use it
only if you can configure apache

Re: [PHP] Link to download files on another part of system
Ave,
I¹m going to try creating the sharepoint within my webserver, as suggested
by you and tijnema. I think that¹s probably the easiest and quickest
solution to this. I¹ll report back!

Your best bet in this case, with the most minimal coding, would be to
either symlink the individual files into a web-accessible directory, or
symlink the directory containing those files into a web-accessible location.
However, this part would be up to you, determinable by your current system
configuration and potential security risks ( e.g. - the directory is also the
parent directory for information needing to remain secure, so we don't want to
symlink the directory).
Another option would be to read the file through a script and output it
sending a MIME type prior to the data output, placing the name of the file on
the server into the output bugger head so that the user would see it simply as
a direct download.

Re: [PHP] Link to download files on another part of system
Only do this if all the files should be publicly accessible. Otherwise,
you'll need to create a php wrapper to do authorization before sending
the file.

Re: [PHP] Link to download files on another part of system - SOLVED!
Ave,
I think I did it! I created a sharepoint within my web server (inside my
website) and mounted the share on that sharepoint. Once I did that, I
specified correct paths and my downloads are now working. I created a ³jump
menu² select list and this is what I¹ve come up with:
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
function openVox(form) {
var newIndex = form.voxSelect.selectedIndex;
if (newIndex == 0) {
//alert( Please select a file to download! );
} else {
dlvox = form.voxSelect.options[newIndex].value;
window.location.assign(dlvox);
}
}
/SCRIPT
FORM NAME=voxForm STYLE=margin: 0px; padding: 0px;
SELECT NAME=voxSelect onChange=openVox(this.form)
OPTION... Choose Recording .../OPTION
?php
exec(find /Library/WebServer/Documents/website.com/folder/vox -type f
-name .$row['PHONE'].*.vox, $files);
foreach ($files as $value) {
echo OPTION
VALUE='vox/.basename($value).'.basename($value)./option;
}
?
/SELECT
/FORM
Now it¹s able to pull up filenames associated with a record using it¹s phone
number and the wildcard method suggested previously, and a user can select
the file from a drop down and it comes up for Download. Perfect!
Thanks!!

Re: [PHP] Link to download files on another part of system
Ave, You've actually raised pretty valid security issues. The files in that particular mounted share can be publicly accessible so I'm not worried about that. But I'll certainly validate phone number before executing the find command. Thanks! ~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc.
