Download File (header)

[dhirendrak]

😕
Hello All,

I already made a file manager. Where session based registered member can manage their files and folder. I want to add a download section in this. Means when any user click on download hyper link the file must start downloading.

I am using following code for this download :

<?
include ("../../main.php");

if(checkses() == false){
header("Location: ../../login.php");
exit();
}
list($u_name,$t_id) = split("+",$ses_var);

$path="<path where all user folder exists >".$u_name;
$fullpath=stripslashes($path.$FileName);

header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='$fullpath'");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary");
readfile($fullpath);

?>

• $u_name – Name of the user.
  $path -- Path where file exists.
  $FileName – Name of the file to be download

When I use :
Name : download.php
<?
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$FileName");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary");
readfile($FileName);
?>

and Put this download.php file in same folder where all files exists then it works, only problem is browser get hanged some times.

But when I pass full path it will not work properly always try to download with then same script file name (download)

Got the answer and the answer is:
<?
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$FileName");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary");
readfile($FULLPATH);
?>

But I am again facing another problem.When user click on any file name i am openning a new window with the following url :-

download.php?url=/k_map.pdf&FileName=k_map.pdf

With the help of previous post i can download any file without any problem but window will not be closed automaticaly . i tried javascript window close but not working since previously i change the header.

How window will automaticaly closed with save dialog box?????

and another problem is when i use attachement in the following line:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$FileName" . "%20");
Then then the IE hangs up sometimes and when i am not using this then download will be limited to some files only i cann't download all files.

At present i am using the following code to in download.php

---

include ("../../main.php");

if(checkses() == false){
header("Location: ../login.php");
exit();
}
list($u_name,$id) = split("+",$ses_var);

$path="/home/www/htdocs/userfile/".$u_name;
$fullpath=stripslashes($path.$url);

header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$FileName" . "%20");
header("Content-transfer-encoding: binary");
readfile($fullpath);
