RE: [PHP] Download Script
I am
wondering if this is my headers that are doing this, but I
really dont know.
I think its an IE or Windows behavior and what causes it is the multiple
dots in the filename. I resorted to naming our downloads
filename-v1_0_2_1.exe

Subject: [PHP] Download Script
I've created a download script that works quite nicely. The
only issue with
it is that when I download a file where the file name is like
filename
v1.0.2.1.exe there is some extra characters added into the
name when it is
downloaded. So that file will be filename v1[1].0.2.1.exe. I am
wondering if this is my headers that are doing this, but I
really dont know.
Here is my code:
?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
$path = $_GET['type'];
$rootpath = /home/virtual/site341/fst/var/www/downloads/;
$filename = $rootpath$path/$file;
if (file_exists($filename)) {
header(Content-Description: File Transfer);
header(Pragma: no-cache);
header(Content-Type: application/force-download);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=.basename($filename));
header(Content-Length: .filesize($filename));
$handle = fopen(($filename), r);
print(fread($handle, filesize($filename)));
flush();
fclose($handle);
} else {
header(HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found);
}
?
If anyone can let me know what is going on I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Aaron

I was going to post another follow-up question in a
pending thread here but
it seems to have been deleted. Anyway, I am trying
to write a download
script that will downloaded files from my site. All
these files need to be
protected so just anybody cant come to the site and
download them. I have
already created a login environment for this site
and just need to make my
file downloads work. Currently they are in a
directory protected by
.htaccess.
I was told on the previous thread that I needed to
place the files that are
protected by .htaccess ouside of the webroot in
order for PHP to have rights
to them. My web root is
/home/lgxdlr/mainwebsite_html/ I put the secure
directory called test in /home/lgxdlr/
I am trying to dowload a file using readfile(), but
PHP still cant seem to
get to the file. Here is my code:
?php
$file = /home/lgxdlr/test/.$_GET['file'].;
if (file_exists(basename($file))) {
header(Content-Description: File Transfer);
header(Content-Type:
application/force-download);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=.basename($file));
@readfile($file);
} else {
echo $filebr;
echo basename($file);
echo brNo File Found;
}
?
If anyone can give me a hand with this please post.
Thanks,
Aaron

Lookup what basename() does to see why using it with file_exists() in this way
is most likely wrong (given what you're trying to do).

Belay my last post...you're using readfile and not fread.
Okay, what error is the script outputting? You should remove the '@'
from in front of readfile() so that it will output an error if it's the
problem.

Re: [PHP] download script
Thanks for your reply,
I am not getting an error at all. I have coded some error traping so if the
files is not found it will tell you instead of displaying an error. As a
test I took all of that out so the script was:
$file = /home/dlr/test/.$_GET['file'].
header(Content-Description: File Transfer);
header(Content-Type: application/force-download);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=.basename($file));
readfile($file);
I also took out the @ as you suggested.
Like that it brings up a download window like it should and then downloads a
file with the correct name, but it is only about 400 bytes and cannot be
read.
Thanks again for your help,
Aaron

I have never done a script that supports resume but this is the logic you need to follow to work out the protocol behaviour. - Create a download script as per below start downloading then stop the web server. - Change the script to e-mail you the headers from the script request. - Restart the web server and tell Get Right to resume.

Re: [PHP] download script
Instead, find out exactly what headers it is that Getright sends.
Store the resume point in $resume_bytecount
Then, have your script do something like this:
/** Send the appropriate HTML headers **/
/** Do this instead of the fpassthru **/
$filesize = size($filename);
$fp = fopen('$filename','r');
while ($byte_count $resume_bytecount)
{
fread($fp,1);
$byte_count = $byte_count + 1;
}
while(!feof($fp))
{
print(read($fp, 8192));
flush();
}
Simple, read the file until resume point
Then, send the file with an 8k blocksize (standard I believe, change as
necessary)

It just doesn't work except for very simple browsers. I tested it on lynx and it's perfect. On IE and Netscape, Mozilla you get varying results. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] Download script - sometime works sometime not
Its works for file .html or.zip or .tar or .tar.gz But it is not for text file.. Could you recommend how I download text file ? What do I have to do in my scripts...? I read the manual about HTTP functionsand search through mailing list about header functions but still no clue.. Thank you... If you send a text file, MSIE will probably view it anyway. Netscape will behave. Alternative? Send a completely madeup mime type, forcing MSIE to go into download mode.

Hi,
I'm working on a download script

header(Content-Length: $size\n);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\$file\\n);
header(Content-Description: Download\n);
readfile($path.$file);
header( Content-Type: application/download );
if (strstr(getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT'), 'Netscape6' ))
header( Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=chopper.exe );
else
header( Content-Disposition: filename=chopper.exe );
$fn=fopen( chopper.exe , r );
fpassthru( $fn );
This was as close as I ever got. Still doesn't work in Konqueror but is an
acknowledged bug.
Cheers,
Brad
