PHP - Fseek() On Remote File
Hello everyone.
I have a script which opens a remote file, downloads it into a buffer and then sends it out to the user. At the moment, I'm using fopen() to retrieve the remote file. Everything works correctly, except when the user requests a range of the file. To do this, I tried fseek() but the problem is that fseek() does not work with remote files and gives me an error. Is there any other way I can go about doing this? Thanks. Similar TutorialsDear 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. 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'); */ if(is_readable($file)) die('File not found or inaccessible!'); /* $size = $size; $name = rawurldecode($name); */ /* Figure out the MIME type (if not specified) */ $known_mime_types=array( "pdf" => "application/pdf", "txt" => "text/plain", "html" => "text/html", "htm" => "text/html", "exe" => "application/octet-stream", "zip" => "application/zip", "doc" => "application/msword", "xls" => "application/vnd.ms-excel", "ppt" => "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint", "gif" => "image/gif", "png" => "image/png", "jpeg"=> "image/jpg", "jpg" => "image/jpg", "php" => "text/plain" ); if($mime_type==''){ $file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file,"."),1)); if(array_key_exists($file_extension, $known_mime_types)){ $mime_type=$known_mime_types[$file_extension]; } else { $mime_type="application/x-rar-compressed"; }; }; @ob_end_clean(); //turn off output buffering to decrease cpu usage // required for IE, otherwise Content-Disposition may be ignored if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); header('Content-Type: ' . $mime_type); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$name.'"'); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header('Accept-Ranges: bytes'); /* The three lines below basically make the download non-cacheable */ header("Cache-control: no-cache"); //header('Pragma: private'); // header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // multipart-download and download resuming support if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) { list($a, $range) = explode("=",$_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'],2); list($range) = explode(",",$range,2); list($range, $range_end) = explode("-", $range); $range=intval($range); if(!$range_end) { $range_end=$size-1; } else { $range_end=intval($range_end); } $new_length = $range_end-$range+1; header("HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content"); header("Content-Length: $new_length"); header("Content-Range: bytes $range-$range_end/$size"); } else { $new_length=$size; header("Content-Length: ".$size); } /* output the file itself */ $chunksize = 1*(1024)*(1024); //you may want to change this $bytes_send = 0; if ($file = fopen($file, 'r')) { if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) fseek($file, $range); while(!feof($file) && (!connection_aborted()) && ($bytes_send<$new_length) ) { $buffer = fread($file, $chunksize); print($buffer); //echo($buffer); // is also possible flush(); $bytes_send += strlen($buffer); } fclose($file); } else die('Error - can not open file.'); die(); } // END OUTPUT_FILE function I need to check a file's size with php and ssh. Everything I've seen online for remote files uses curl and port 80. I'll be checking a LAN computer that isn't running a webserver, but is running an SSH server. How can I do this? I've tried this: Code: [Select] <?php $tomorrow = date ('n-j-y'); echo system(ssh root@192.168.2.169 ls -lah "/MacRadio X/WMIS Logs/WMIS $tomorrow Log" | awk {print $5}); ?> but it didn't work. I got a T_VARIAABLE error. This was the same command I used right from the command line, and it worked. I'll also need to add a check to the file size, and if it's less than 175K, send me an email...but I'll work on that after I have the first part working. Thanks! Hello I am in need of writting to a txt file on a remote server. When trying I get this error: "failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections in /home....." How can I write to a siply txt file on a remote server? This one stumped me, but maybe someone has figured it out. I'm trying to write a script that is able to decide whether a remote url is a directory or a file, this is fine until it comes to mod_rewrite(rewritten?) urls. ex. http://www.example.com/test Now this could be test.php,test.html etc., but in the rare case, it could also be a folder (example.com/test/index.php). Anyone have any ideas? What's the proper way to check if a file exists on a remote server? I know file_exists() works for you local files. I think i need to use something like the following. BUT if the file is not found PHP throws a warning. I know i can put a '@' before fopen() but that just masks the error. Code: [Select] <?php if(fopen("http://www.othersite.com/imageXYZ.jpg", "r")) { echo "File exists."; } else { echo "File does not exist."; } ?> Would this work to prevent remote file inclusion vulnerability? $file = "../include/links.php"; if ($file = '../include/links.php'){ include $file; } Hi, I have a video site with a lot of content hosted. I recently shifted to a CDN solution. The problem now is that I cannot force user to download the file. The files just open in the browser window. When the user clicks on download, I just use header ("location: http://cndserver/file.mov"); What can I do to force download a file stored on a remote server? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hello, this script originally works by reading a physical copy of 'bans.txt' located in the same directory.

It is a little more complex than that simple explanation so let me go into more detail. You have the client accessing a website which is hosted on ServerA, through their computer which is the files origin. The web service is housed on ServerB and the remote upload target server is ServerC. I'm looking to upload the file through the web service on ServerB. The purpose of this is to prevent ServerA from knowing the target location for the upload, ServerC. ServerA must be able to take the file from the computer, pass it to the web service on ServerB which streams it through to ServerC. The file shoul not be saved on any one of the hops through to ServerC, it should be streamed straight through. Computer (file) ---> ServerA (Apache) ---> ServerB (Web Service) ---> ServerC (File target location) If youn think this is possible, what is your best suggested method of uploading the file. Currently, I'm looking at using cURL and the SoapClient to access the web service and upload the file. I'm yet to research if this is possible and would like to know if anyone else has a better method/suggestion? Regarding my job, I just need to connect ServerA with ServerB and stream the file somehow for the clients computer... Purpose: To get time zone of a remote file in my time zone. I have to download a file daily (mp3, don't worry its legal!) from BBC. Problem is that sometimes BBC doesn't update the file and i have to download entire file to check if it has been updated or not. Hence i decided to code a page that gives me date and time of that remote file. I have successfully compiled the code (that i got from internet). But the time returns in EST. I want the time in IST (indian std time Asia/Calcutta). CURLINFO_FILETIME has bee used. Below is code. Pls suggest me how to convert EST to IST - Warning: I am a newbie. But i can follow instructions Code: [Select] <?php $curl = curl_init('http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/hindi/tx/32mp3/din_bhar.mp3'); //don't fetch the actual page, you only want headers curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true); //stop it from outputting stuff to stdout curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // attempt to retrieve the modification date curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, true); $result = curl_exec($curl); if ($result === false) { die (curl_error($curl)); } $timestamp = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME); if ($timestamp != -1) { //otherwise unknown echo "BBC Hindi was last modified" . date("d-m-Y h:i:s A T", $timestamp); //etc } ?> I have used it with custom getRemoteFileSize function he - Code: [Select] http://island.web44.net/bbc.php Hey guys I m developing a download system for my server that reads files from a third party server and enables MY USER to download it via my URL. What mechanisms should i use to manage this efficiently ??? file_get_contents(); fopen(); Or should I use some kind of buffer mechanism ??? Please do provide a code sample as I'm stuck here very badly. Note: The file sizes may be >500MB I need to check (from a Debian server to a Mac CLIENT (not server) machine) to see if a file exists on the file system...not an http server. Here's what I've tried (based on reading at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-exec.php) Code: [Select] <?php function check_remote_files($username, $hostname, $remote_file) { $connection = ssh2_connect($hostname, 22, array('hostkey'=>'ssh-rsa')); if (ssh2_auth_pubkey_file($connection, $username, '/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub', '/root/.ssh/id_rsa', '')) { echo "Public Key Authentication On Server #2 Successful\n"; } $url = "if ssh $hostname stat $remote_file \> /dev/null 2\>\&1"; $stream=ssh2_exec($connection,$url); stream_set_blocking( $stream, true ); $cmd=fread($stream,4096); fclose($stream); $stream=ssh2_exec($connection,"then"); stream_set_blocking( $stream, true ); $cmd=fread($stream,4096); fclose($stream); $stream=ssh2_exec($connection,"echo File exists"); stream_set_blocking( $stream, true ); $cmd=fread($stream,4096); fclose($stream); $stream=ssh2_exec($connection,"else"); stream_set_blocking( $stream, true ); $cmd=fread($stream,4096); fclose($stream); $stream=ssh2_exec($connection,"echo Not found"); stream_set_blocking( $stream, true ); $cmd=fread($stream,4096); fclose($stream); $stream=ssh2_exec($connection,"fi"); stream_set_blocking( $stream, true ); $cmd=fread($stream,4096); fclose($stream); } ?> NOTHING happens after the echo of Public Key Authentication On Server #2 Successful. I'm running this script from a bash shell. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks. I have a php script on a server writing to an html file on a remote server. I'm using the following combination of fopen and fputs. The problem is that once out of maybe every 10 or 15 writes to the file, the file that is written is blank with nothing in it. Has anyone here had experience with this before? The file is fixed the next time it writes to it. this code is within a loop that runs every 10 seconds. Code: [Select] // Allows overwriting of existing files on the remote FTP server $stream_options = array('ftp' => array('overwrite' => true)); // Creates a stream context resource with the defined options $stream_context = stream_context_create($stream_options); // Opens the file for writing and truncates it to zero length if ($fh = fopen($ftp_path, 'w',0, $stream_context)) { if ( $change > 0 ) fputs($fh, "the contents of the html file is here"); //the case if change is positive else fputs($fh, "the contents of the html file is here"); //the case if change is negative // Closes the file handle fclose($fh); } else { die('Could not open file.'); } When I Google the above string I find a lot of advice about using SFTP, turning on blocking, upgrading libraries and such, however, the code that does this seems to work during some operations and not work during others, so I don't think it's a matter of a buggy library. If I could find out why it cannot create the remote file, that might do a world of good. But I've been through all of /var/log and some log messages acknowledge the ssh session, but don't give any clues as to what goes wrong. I've looked at the user, password, host name and port name in and around the ssh2_connect() call. They are all good. I've also checked the permissions and ownership on the destination directory. They aren't the problem either. I've also tried duplicating the call w/a command-line scp call, and that test passes also. So now find myself staring at this "failure creating remote file" message, wondering what the failure is, and I'm running out of ideas. I'm running RHEL AS release 4. folks, i know i may be asking a question that has been answered before but i am asking this here again because i could not find any simple and straightforward answers. i want to debug my php scripts. no web server is involved. all the scripts are used for parsing and preparing data files...something like we do with unix shell scripting. the scripts reside on a linux box and each script may call functions in other included scripts. i can connect to the linux box using my notebook. on my notebook i have Eclipse and PhpEd. i want to debug those php scripts on the linux box using my notebook's Eclipse or PhpEd. (no webserver or html involved and php cli is already setup and running scripts on the linux box). If this (using PhpEd and Eclipse on the notebook to remotely debug) is not possible can you please suggest me how do i debug those scripts while i am on the linux server (using command line etc.). please help me how to set up. regards, kali Hi, I'm writing some software and I'm wanting to store user statistics on my web-server remotely. My application outputs the statistics into a txt file and asks the user if they would like to submit this data to my server to help the project (statistics gathering ) and if they submit it I want the information stored in a mysql database on my web-server. I was thinking about passing the data in through the url in an http request to the page, but there's too much data. I'm interested in finding out if it's possible to upload a file directly to a php script. I could use FTP to place it on my server, but that would require me putting the ftp login into the program, which I don't feel safe about doing that. At least with a php script I'm able to filter and process any input before it's inserted into the database. Is it actually possible to upload directly to my server from a php file in an http request from an application though? Ok, the database I have been working on the past few days is located on my websites server (1&1) and today I am trying to get a connection to it on a website that is on a different server, but I am getting my echo statement of saying it can't find the database even though I changed it from "localhost" to the physical address of the database. Any ideas? On my website, I have a download folder containing several files ranging in size from 6Mb to 700Mb. Users have no problems downloading the smaller files but often have problems downloading the files over 500Mb. We also have an archive of all the files located on a sub-domain on a server in England. Those users that are having problems downloading large files from the main site usually have no problem downloading the large files if we send them the URL for the archive. I've added a button that calls the following script so the users can choose where to download from but have no idea how to code the script. Here's what I've tried:
// ukdloader script
<?php
$php_scripts = '../../php/';
require $php_scripts . 'PDO_Connection_Select.php';
require $php_scripts . 'GetUserIpAddr.php';
function ukdloader($l_filename=NULL)
{
$ip = GetUserIpAddr();
if (!$pdo = PDOConnect("foxclone_data"))
{
exit;
}
if( isset( $l_filename ) ) {
echo <a href="http://foxclone.org/".$l_filename"> /* This is the archive site */
$ext = pathinfo($l_filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO download (address, filename,ip_address) VALUES (?, ?, inet_aton('$ip'))");
$stmt->execute([$ip, $ext]) ;
$test = $pdo->query("SELECT id FROM lookup WHERE INET_ATON('$ip') BETWEEN start AND end ORDER BY start DESC, end DESC");
$ref = $test->fetchColumn();
$ref = intval($ref);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("UPDATE download SET ref = '$ref' WHERE address = '$ip'");
$stmt->execute() ;
}
else {
echo "isset failed";
}
}
ukdloader($_GET["f"]);
exit;
Thanks in advance. |
