thanks.

I have searched for the solution for so long and I still could not solve my problem. I have a localhost server where it stored some pdf files for download.  I implemented the following function to force the download:

if(isset($_POST['dlPDF']))
{

$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .'/Upload/'.$pdfName;

header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$pdfName");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

// read the file from disk
readfile($file);
}

However I could not open the pdf file properly since it says "the pdf file is not correctly encoded". FYI, the downloaded pdf file is always a few Kb larger than the original file. Please kindly let me know if there is anything I can do to make the pdf readable and I appreciate your help.

Hello everyone.
I have a problem with some of my php script.

I have some php code that downloads a remote file and directly outputs it to the user. It works and all, it's just that when I do it on my Ubuntu LAMP server, downloading a file takes up a lot of ram. On my Windows WAMP server it works correctly and doesn't use up so much ram. Is this a problem with my code, or is it a server configuration?

Below is the code I use to download the file.
Code: [Select]

public function output_file($file, $name, $mime_type='', $size)
   {
   session_write_close();

    This function takes a path to a file to output ($file),
    the filename that the browser will see ($name) and
    the MIME type of the file ($mime_type, optional).
   
    If you want to do something on download abort/finish,
    register_shutdown_function('function_name');
    */

I wonder if some kind-hearted person can help me?
I am trying to download a video file which has a wmv. The protocol is either mms:// or http://

I can see the video in my browser but I cannot download it using curl or wget in a program and I need to download a few of these.
They are publicly viewable so they are not private stuff.
The URL is http://210.150.12.140/vod11/tepco/other/1111_01.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf
or
mms://wmt.stream.co.jp/vod11/tepco/other/1111_01.wmv

All I get at the moment is a text file of less than 1K and not the movie itself.
How would I download this file please?
Thanks
Paul

Hello,   I want the user to get authenticated before file download starts   Here is my code:    <?php

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to determine if a user is currently downloading a file from my website.
The way my site works, is the user waits 30 seconds and views an ad. After the timer is up the download becomes available.
I heard that I could probably use a timestamp or something of the sort. I've read up on it but not sure how I could go about this.

I have a script that will download a file from my server onto the user's computer. The problem is it's adding the pages HTML to the top of the file. When I actually look at the file on my server it does NOT have the HTML there, so it has to be some sort of problem with my headers.

Code: [Select]
<?php

$fname = "keyword_files/".$this->fileID.".csv";

header('Content-type: application/csv');
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=".$fname);
readfile($fname);

?>

I would appreciate any help! Thanks.

Hi,

I want to download more than one file at a time. But now I can't download any of them that way. I want to solve it the way it is in gmail, i.e. I download either 1 file separately or if there are two or more, it is zipped.

Thanks in advanced,

T

Hello, I am new and am having a hard time with PHP. 

Scenario:  There are PDF files on my website that I want users to register before downloading the files.  I do not want them to login but rather provide basic information such as name and email address.  Once the form is submitted, I am not sure if I should be using PHPSESSION to validate the user.  Also, I am not sure where to place the files: either in the webroot (/var/www/) or outside.

I am new to PHP so please forgive me if I use terminology incorrectly.

Thank you for reading my question.

This topic has been moved to Apache HTTP Server.

Dear PHPFreak members,
I have been searching a solution for serving a file download via my website. The file to be downloaded is actually on a remote server.

What i need is a code that serves as a download medium without actually downloading the file to my web server. Something like masking file url 

Can anyone help me with it ???
Have been trying this since days. But no solution till date.
