Multiple Files Download..

[Solution30]

Hi There!!!!

How to make a file downloadable from the server using php?

I have stored the paths of the files in Mysql, I do need to make them downloadable at one shot. Is this possiable? OR atleast make one whole folder download at a time..

Thanx for any help.

🙂

Can you give a bit more detail?? What do you mean by 'downloadable', where is the file, and what's keeping you from downloading it in the first place if it's on a webserver...<?>

while (somedbcondition) {
header("Location: /path/to/file.exe");
}

Nice idea would be, what hp does at the driver-download-page.

You select all files, you wanna download and the webserver puts them in a zip...

i do not have the exact synthax but i already do something like this

you should send first some header like Content-type: x-application... etc

hope this help

Header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
Header ("Content-Length: ".filesize($total));
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filenames[$i]");
readfile($total);

Replace $total with the full path to your file and $filenames with the name of the file as you would like the downloader to see it

and thats all. It doesn't work well with secure conneciton but it's Gates fault not mine 🙂))))
