PHP - Help For Php Download System. How Can I Make It?

Hey guys first of all I got 3 files -

index.php
require_once('/libs/template.class.php');

$template = new Template;

$template->assign("title","test");

template.php
<?php echo $title; ?>

template.class.php
function assign($var, $val)
    {
        $var = $val;
    }

I'm trying to assign a variable in index.php, then recall it in the template.php, how would I go about this?

Thank you!

Hi everyone...

I would like to implement a questionnaire/survey system that has only two Answers (Yes /No).

Basically, this questionnaire system will be widely used on Mobile Phones.

It will be looking something like this below: http://awardwinningfjords.com/2009/06/16/iphone-style-checkboxes.html

Lets say a user selects a response as No (Using the above slider button for a question). That response should be recorded in the database with User Details + Time Stamp.

Also, I would like to generate a report for each question (Responses of Multiple Users) and a report at a User Level for the entire questionnaire/survey (s).

Can some one guide me the fastest & easiest way to achieve this? I'm a new learner of PHP.

Regards
Sandeep

Basically I would like to place a link on my website and have the user download a file, but rather than just right clicking and choosing save target as, the link must be clicked, on the next page the file is fetched and then the client can download the file. How would I go about setting this up please?

When the download appears the link that is produced doesn't show the actual download either, so users can't leech of it.

Thanks

hello dear PHP-Fans - greetings to you - and a happy new year!!


i set up a WAMP-System on my openSuse 11.4 system.  In order to learn as much as i can bout PHP i want to do some tests and write some scripts.

Well the WAMP is allready up and running.  Now i try to give the writing access to the folder

mkdir /srv/www/

where the php-scripts should go in...

i want  to give write permission to all to all files in /srv/www

As root I generally:

mkdir /srv/www/
chown <webmaster usrername> /srv/www/

/srv/www/ should be readable and traversable by all, but only writeable by it's owner (the user designated as the webmaster.)

can i do this like mentioned above,...

Love to hear from you

greetings

I have made a Php program that downloads an Inno setup installation file for installing a program. However, if I for one or another reason want to make a new download of the same Inno setup installation file, the previous file will still be found in the Download folder. Each of the downloads get a number in parenthesis, setup(1), setup(2), setup(3) etc. However, I wondered if it is posible to erase the previous file in the same process as I download a new one, so that however many downloads I do, there will all the time only be one occurence of this file in the Download folder.

The download code is as follows:

$exe = "Inno script/Test_setup.exe";
	header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); 
	header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"Test_setup.exe\""); 
	header("Content-Length: " . filesize($exe)); 
	readfile($exe); 

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely

 

Okay so my news script is set to view only 10 pieces of news. But I want it so that it starts a new page once I have more than 10 pieces of news.

Code: [Select]
<?php
require("functions.php");
include("dbconnect.php");

session_start();

head1();
body1();
new_temp();
sotw();
navbar();
     
$start = 0;
$display = 10;
$query = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $start, $display";
$result = mysql_query( $query );

if ($result) {
    while( $row = @mysql_fetch_array( $result, MYSQL_ASSOC ) ) {
        news_box( $row['news'], $row['title'], $row['user'], $row['date'], $row['id'] );
    }
    mysql_free_result($result);
} else {
    news_box( 'Could not retrieve news entries!', 'Error', 'Error', 'Error');
}
                   
footer();

mysql_close($link);
?>
I tried a few things but they failed....miserably.

Little help please?

1. I tried downloading a .txt file on mywebsite but it turned out to be viewing the text file, works on .doc files though
2. Can i have a string variable saved to a file to be downloaded in textfile (.csv)

algorith would be like this
csv_value = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0";
downloadlink(csv_value,file_name.csv);


PS. I used output_buffering = true on my php.ini so i have a little problem if your to suggest to use the header() function. unless there is another loophole. thanks in advance yours truly

Hi,
I don't want to reveal the real download link to my users for some reason, so I place the file here, for example:
http://www.domain.com/download/secure-file.exe
Now I want to write a simple php code and link to this address, for example:
http://www.domain.com/download/download.php
Now this php script read that file and send it to user, without revealing the real file location to user.
Of course there is no resume download now, but I don't care.
Anyone knows a code snippet for that, or can help me to the right position?
I am a newbie in PHP.
Thank you.

I have a small program that is to be used to export data from some MYSQL tables into an Excel spreadsheet.

It does the export successfully, the first pass, but each subsequent download selection causes the browser to display the html code as text to the browser.

If I disable the excel output, the page redraws successfully un subsequent requests.

The header definition I have is ias follows:
Code: [Select]
$FileInfo = pathinfo(filename);
            // fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue
           
            header("Pragma: public");
            header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
            header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); 
            // browser must download file from server instead of cache
            // force download dialog
            header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
            header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
            header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
            header("Content-Type: application/download");
            // use the Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename and 
            // force the browser to display the save dialog.
            if ($download_filename == "")
                $download_filename = "download.xlm";
            header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$download_filename.";");
            header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
            header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
            @readfile($filename);

I did not setup this header, because to be honest, these things confuse the heck out of me. Can anyone see what may be wrong with this? Can you give me some suggestions?

I can post more of the code if needed, but i believe that this is the area of interest for this issue.

Thanks in advance.

How do I make it so when a user clicks download, it will download the image from the path to their computer?

Hi Guys,

I'm putting together a project which requires members of a site to upload files(mostly word files) into a mysql db.
I can get the files uploaded successfully but when it comes to downloading them i do have a bit of trouble. When i click on the download link i just get a file called 'download.php' instead of the actual file in the database.

I have been working on this link for the past two weeks and think maybe its time for some help, here's my code if you wouldn't mind having a look?




upload.php:

<?php

session_start();

$fileName = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

I'm thinking that it could be something to do with the bin_data on the download.php page.
Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a PHP script that downloads a file off a remote FTP server and serves the file to the visitor with a limited download speed.

Right now I'm using fopen() like this:

Code: [Select]
$path = "ftp://".$username.":".$password."@".$server."/";
$fullPath = ($path.$fileName);

$speed = 400; // 400 kb/s download rate

    header("Cache-control: private");
    header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
    //header("Content-Length: ".filesize($fullPath));
    header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$fileName."\"");

    flush();

   $fd = fopen($fullPath, "r");
   while(!feof($fd)) {
         echo fread($fd, round($speed*1024));
       flush();
       sleep(1);
   }
   fclose ($fd);


The file does download but with the wrong speed (8kb/s), does anyone know why?

When I run the same code with a local file instead of a file on FTP it works fine and downloads at the speed I set it to..

Thanks
