PHP - Download Photo With A Header Redirect

go on with the title, i mean, when i click the download button and it starts downloading, i can't refresh the page or go to other adress of my site,  it will really  take a long time. the header information is something like this  (except some judgement)
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $name);   
    header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
    header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
    header("Content-Type: application/download");
    header("Content-Description: File Transfer");             
    header("Content-Length: " . filesize($adress));
    flush(); // this doesn't really matter.

    $fp = fopen($adress, "r");
    while (!feof($fp))
    {
      echo fread($fp, 65536);
      flush(); // this is essential for large downloads
    } 
    fclose($fp);

it takes me days but i cant find any way...thanks a lot!!! thanks a lot!!! thanks a lot!!!

Ok, I have a download script. The script is called like:

http://www.site.net/index.php?action=downloadfile&filename=file001.zip&directory=directory12&

The download file code is below. My site hosts quite a few files that get linked on other websites. Problem is, when that link is clicked, obviously it just starts the file download, as if it were a direct link to the file.

What I need to do, is still have it download the file when the link is clicked, but I would also like it to redirect the browser to my homepage as well.

I tried placing this after the download headers but it didn't work.

header("Location: http://www.site.net");

Can anyone give me an idea how I can get the code to do that? Keep in mind that I'm not fluent in PHP.

$filename = getGetVar('filename');

How can one re-direct a visitor, without using a header re-direct?  I'd like a page to show up, then after about 5 seconds I need the visitor sent to another page.  How can I do this?

If I do something like header(Location: www.url.com).  Is there a way that url.com would be able to get the IP from the server that did the redirect?  It looks like $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] returns the clients IP address which isnt what I need.

Thanks

Hi all, I am having a time with my coding. The codes for the form.php will add to the db if the action is giving as form.php. I am trying to get the page to redirect to the login.php. so I put the header function in. It redirects to the login.php as the header but does not add data to the db. So I tried to put the code login.php in the action for the form but it does not add to the db. Where can I put the redirect so it adds to data to the db and goes to the next page.???????

<?php
@include_once ("Connections/connect_to_mysql.php");

  $err='';

  if($_POST["submit"]){
 
    // Validate form data

    if($_POST["firstname"]=='') $err.='Please enter First Name<br>';
    if($_POST["email"]=='') $err.='Please enter Email<br>';



    if($err==''){

      // Check if there are duplicate entries in the 'contacts' table

      $results = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM `Members` WHERE firstname='".addslashes($_POST["firstname"])."' and Email='".addslashes($_POST["email"])."'");
      if($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
        $err.='Can not add duplicate entry<br>';
      }
      else{

        // adding new record to 'contacts' table

        mysql_query("INSERT INTO Members (firstname,lastname,country,Email)
                    values ('".addslashes($_POST["firstname"])."','".addslashes($_POST["lastname"])."','".addslashes($_POST["country"])."','".addslashes($_POST["email"])."')");

       // redirecting to success screen
      if($_POST['id']){
         header("Location: login.php");
      exit;
      }
      }
    }
  }

?>

<head>
<title>Add New Contact</title>

Hi

Everyone was kind enough to help with my last issue and am now nearly there.

The data actually populates correctly now in my database, however, it will not direct me to my redirect.

I get the error

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\loginsystem\Permnew.php:4) in C:\xampp\htdocs\loginsystem\Permnew.php on line 124

This is the redirect i am trying to do

anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Steve

is it possible to have a script that changes header based on what page the user came from.

something like

else { header("Location: back_to_the_start_buddy.php"); }

Hi Everyone,

I'm having a bit of a problem if someone could help me with?

I have a simple registration form with fields userid, username, password, clientaddress

So when the user logs in with their username and password it will redirect to their client address but I cant get the redirect working. Here is my code:

Code: [Select]
$clientaddress = trim($_POST['clientaddress']);

$_SESSION['start'] = time();
 header("Location:$clientaddress"); 
 exit;
}

also note if I add:

Code: [Select]
$clientaddress = 'http://www.google.com';

it redirects ok to google. It's getting the field from the database I think thats the problem

Can somone help it just wont redirect to the client address

Here is the webpage.php which executes data entered in the email form. I want to display a webpage which would confirm that the email has been sent but the header redirect does not work. An email gets sent but a blank page is displayed instead of confirmation. Can anyone help? this is urgent

I am using a header redirect after a user makes a post which goes to their post.

example they made a post which has an id of 236, then the url redirect would be

index.php?forum=1&topic=1&post=236#p236

i have the <a name> set up on each post and it works fine until the post is on a different page.
the url should be:

index.php?forum=1&topic=1&page=2&post=236#p236

but how would i be able to tell the header redirect which page to go to. I was thinking if statements like:

if ($number_of_results >=10) { $page = 2; }

but that would involve alot of if statements with no way of knowing how many pages the topic could have.

Is there an easier way?

Hello All,   OK so I have been at this for a few days now and everywhere I go to learn or read information it says the same thing, to redirect the code is header('location:mypage.php');exit();   but it just will not redirect it every thing I try it does not load the redirect page. it clears the form and sits there, I do not know why! Can please someone please help me and see why it is not doing it?   Thanks  

hi everyone.

i have been working on a site on a local windows server then moved everything to a unix server. now my refresh doesn't redirect anymore. any ideas why?

Code: [Select]
<?php

if(isset($_POST['GO'])){ 
$page ="go.php?IDNumber=" . $IDNumber;
header("Refresh: 1; url=$page"); 
echo " "; 
} 
?>

<form action="" method="post" name="redirect" id="redirect">
     <input type="submit" name="GO" id="GO" value="GO" />
</form>

I cannot use a header redirect anymore because I'm echo'ing out in the header.php file for the navigation, which will echo out a profile and settings button ONLY if the user is logged in, it's basically a simple if statement with session variables.

Now when the user goes to the login page and has successfully logged in I'd like to redirect the user to the main page, but of course this won't work since I have already an echo in the header.php file for the navigation.

So my question is, is there a workaround or alternate redirect for this case?

I have an html login page. Once a user is verified through the PHP page they get redirected to another page. For some reason once I have validated that the user exists I get the message that is was successful but the page will not redirect. This is my script I use on my HTML page to pass the parameters:

Code: [Select]
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function() {
var username = $('input[name=username]');
var password = $('input[name=password]');
var data = 'username=' + username.val() + '&password=' + password.val();

.ajax({
url: "login.php",
type: "GET",
data: data,
cache: false,
success: function() {
alert("SUCCESS");
}
});
return false;
});
});
And this is my PHP page:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$username = ($_GET['username']) ? $_GET['username'] : $_POST['username'];
$password = ($_GET['password']) ? $_GET['password'] : $_POST['password'];

if ($_POST) $post=1;

$userFound = false;
$memberId = "";

// Create connection string, Note, params are as follow
// mysql_connect(databaseLocation, username, password)
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
  }
mysql_select_db("memberdb", $con); 
// SQL Query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT memberId, firstName, lastName, username, password FROM member");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
if ($username == $row["username"] && $password == $row["password"])
{
echo "<h1>Welcome " . $row["firstName"] ." ". $row["lastName"]  . "! </h1></br>";
$userFound = true;
$memberId = $row["memberId"];
}
}
// If User is found, continue on to next page, if not redirect to index.html
if ($userFound)
{
echo "<h2>Login Successful</h2>";
echo "<h3>Page will redirect</h3>";
header( "url=menu.html?memberId=" . $memberId);
}
else
{
echo "<h2>LOGIN FAILED</h2>";
echo "<h3>Page will redirect</h3>";
header( "refresh: 1; url=index.html#loginPage");
}
?>
It does the echo successfully but hangs on the part where is says :

Quote

header( "url=menu.html?memberId=" . $memberId);


How can I get it to redirect?

Thanks

Hi guys I have 2 question.

1. Is it possible to use the a variable in a header redirect function i.e. Code: [Select]
$test = 'index.php';  header("location: $test");

2 assuming $test = 'index.php'; how do I pass the variable from one page to another?

Thanks
