PHP - Zend Download Issue

Hi all,

i have trouble with a piece of code.

HTML:
  Code: [Select]
<div class="psdBox"><a href="downloads/001_PSD.php"><img src="webBuild/psdIcon.png" alt="psd icon" /></a>
   <div class="phpBox">
   <?php
 
$hit_count = @file_get_contents('http://example.com/downloads/001_PSD.txt');
echo $hit_count;
?></div></div>
PHP:
<?php
 
$url = 'http://example.com/downloads/001_PSD.txt';
 
$hit_count = @file_get_contents($url);
$hit_count++;
@file_put_contents($url);
 
header ('Location: http://example.com/downloads/001_PSD.zip'); 
 
?>


What i'm trying to do is to count the downloads on my site using PHP without sql.

This code working from the root. [www.example.com/here]
But if i want this code work from a folder [www.example.com/downloads/here]
then i does not work. The 001_PSD.txt won't count up from a folder.

In the root, where it works, the chmod of the 001_PSD.txt is standard 0644. This works!
I always thought that i must be 0777, but from the root 0644 is ok.

When i tested it from /downloads folder, i tried to set 001_PSD.txt to chmod 0777, but that also fails..

Can someone help me to make this work.. i cannot find the problem,
i want to make multiple downloads and don't want to put every download in the root folder..

thank,

javil

Hello,

I am working on a project that downloads large zip files from server, for small files the script works well and downlaod files successfully, but for larger files like currently we are trying to download a 922MB file it gives us this message (in firefox) and doesn't download any thing.

"
File not found

Firefox can't find the file at http://www.domainname.com/abc.zip

"
Script to download the file is as below:

"
$filename = "xyz.mp3;

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($filename).";");

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));

if( !ini_get('safe_mode') )
set_time_limit(360000000);

readfile("$filename");
"

Please advise what can be issue, if its file size issue then how and where can we increase the limit to solve this issue.

pre-thanks,

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

Here  is my hierarchy:

data      -logs folder-debug.log
htdocs   -index.php
include   -Contollers,Smarty,Templater,Zend
templates

Now when I launch index.php from htdocs, I get this un-seeming error:

"Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Log_Exception' with message '"/var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data/logs/debug.log" cannot be opened with mode "a"' in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Log\Writer\Stream.php:69 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\Books\practical_Web2.0\chapter-02\htdocs\index.php(11): Zend_Log_Writer_Stream->__construct('/var/htdocs/Boo...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Log\Writer\Stream.php on line 69 "

I went to the zend folder in xampp, php, pear, zend, log, writer.php dir and I found this:

/**
     * Class Constructor
     *
     * @param  streamOrUrl     Stream or URL to open as a stream
     * @param  mode            Mode, only applicable if a URL is given
     */
    public function __construct($streamOrUrl, $mode = 'a')
    {
        if (is_resource($streamOrUrl)) {
            if (get_resource_type($streamOrUrl) != 'stream') {
                require_once 'Zend/Log/Exception.php';
                throw new Zend_Log_Exception('Resource is not a stream');
            }

            if ($mode != 'a') {
                require_once 'Zend/Log/Exception.php';
                throw new Zend_Log_Exception('Mode cannot be changed on existing streams');
            }

            $this->_stream = $streamOrUrl;
        } else {
            if (! $this->_stream = @fopen($streamOrUrl, $mode, false)) {
                require_once 'Zend/Log/Exception.php';
                $msg = "\"$streamOrUrl\" cannot be opened with mode \"$mode\"";
                throw new Zend_Log_Exception($msg);
            }
        }

        $this->_formatter = new Zend_Log_Formatter_Simple();
    }
 

line 69 is =>throw new Zend_Log_Exception($msg);

What could be wrong?
Hint:

settings.conf
[development]

database.type       = pdo_mysql
database.hostname   = localhost
database.username   = root
database.password   =
database.database   = phpweb20

paths.base      = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0
paths.data      = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data
paths.templates = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/templates

logging.file = /var/htdocs/Books/practical_Web2.0/data/logs/debug.log


Any pointer as to why there is a fatal error?

Hi all

I wonder if people can help me out here.

It's a "bespoke" vs "framework" question, so not sure its belongs in here, but I didn't want to post it in the ZEND group, as it may have many more "pro ZEND fans" who read it, and I wanted a general thought.

This is all based on the fact that I have a big project coming up and I want to know if I should be sticking with a custom job, or if something like ZEND is the way to go.

Basically I have been developing PHP for about 2 years now and I have always thought a custom site written from scratch was the best way to go, not only does it allow you to have the minimal code needed to run the site, therefore reducing load, space and bandwidth, but it also allows you to know exactly how the system works, I guess the downside is that you have to spend more time doing the coding.

But I have a few friends who use frameworks, ZEND has been coming up more and more, it's not really my ideal system to use as I prefer coding from scratch (not sure why),  but they swear by it, and always tell me its great, its winning awards and none of them code from scratch, one of them even quoted that it "will become the standard for development" - is this true?

Apart from being massively bulky and containing tons of files with scripts and functions that you might never ever use, what do people see as a downside to ZEND, If any?

Is it best to code from scratch, and if so, why? Or does using something like ZEND much better?

I guess if you always use ZEND, then you never really enhance your skill as a coder and never really learn anything new, plus I always think it's kind of cheeky using a pre-built system.

Is there a good argument that would say using ZEND is not really a good idea? Or is the general feeling toward ZEND being a good thing?

Surely if people know ZEND, they know how to play the security of the site to there advantage and therefore can break the security of other ZEND systems, or at least cause some hacks to a site.

Any thoughts would be great

Thanks everyone
