PHP - How To Replace A Download With A New Download
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

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. 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. 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..

Any help would be great. Thanks I put this in the wrong forum and copied it to this one. I apologize ahead of time for the double post. (quote author=radi8 link=topic=333351.msg1569942#msg1569942 date=1305654626) One more question for you all: We just installed a new Linux Ubuntu V 11.04 server with LAMP (Apache2, PHP 5.3.x, MySQL 5.1.4, etc...) all out of the box stuff. I developed (locally) and app where I am exporting some data from MySQL, putting it into a spreadsheet and then sending the Excel file to the client. This all worked fine in my dev setup. BUT... (you know whats coming next) after deploying the app to the new Web Server, when I attempt to export the data, I am successfully creating the Excel file but rather than opening the download dialogue box, the data is being read and sent to the browser window as text! As I mentioned before, this is a new web server, so there may be something missing on the Apache2 setup, or my code may just be crap. Either way, my head hurts and cannot find out what is happening. Here is my header type configuration: Code: [Select] <?php function save($filename, $download=false, $download_filename="") { if (!$download) { return $this->domXML->save($filename); } elseif ($this->domXML->save($filename)) { $realFileInfo = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/truck/admin/export/'.$download_filename; $FileInfo = pathinfo($filename); ob_end_clean(); // fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue header("Pragma: public"); header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT'); header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate'); // HTTP/1.1 header('Cache-Control: pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0'); // HTTP/1.1 header ("Pragma: no-cache"); //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/vnd.ms-excel;'); // This should work for IE & Opera 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.xls"; //header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$download_filename.";"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$realFileInfo.";"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); //header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename)); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($realFileInfo)); //@readfile($filename); @readfile($realFileInfo); return true; } return false; } ?> I added a screen cap for you to see the output. Can you see anything wrong? I've written the following code: Code: [Select] <?php echo '<img src="Sheph.png" />'; function Wad(){ if (file_exists("Sheph.png")) { header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename("Sheph.png")); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); header('Expires: 0'); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate'); header('Pragma: public'); header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("Sheph.png")); ob_clean(); flush(); readfile("Sheph.png"); exit; } } Wad(); ?> What I want to do is show the image AND show a file download window. The problem is that it shows the download window but the image doesn't appear. and if I comment the function and keep the echo part only,the image appears normally. What's wrong ? 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. |
