browsing works....download doesn't

[diegolaz]

Hi!
I have done some coding to browse a directories and files in my server (from the clients).... it works fine with directories, but when I try to download a file that is listed in a directory, the url is wrong... because look in the local machine.....

I'm using PHP 4.3.8 with IIS 6....
for example d:/proyects%20may/temp/example%20B.xls

It works from the server but not in the clients,,,,,,,
If you want, I can post the code....

How can I translate the URL to work from clientes??

thanks

you should post your code so we know more specifically what you're trying to do.

You need to give the client a URL, not a file path. For obvious reasons, the client does not have direct access to the server's filesystem.

... an URL like \pcserver\D...... ?
How can I "translate" de path to that??

Tomorrow morning I'll post the code

thanks!

No, I mean a URL. You know, those things you see in browser address bars - you've heard people saying "www" and "dot com"?

How you "translate" them depends on what they are now and what you want to show them as. PHP has a lot of string functions that could help you.

function imprimir_dirs($dir)
{
if ($handle = opendir( $dir ))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file[0] != ".")
{
$archivo = $dir . "/" .$file;
$fecha_arch = gmdate("M d Y H:i:s",filectime($archivo));
$tam = filesize($archivo);
$ff1 = "<a href='gestion3.php?ver=1&nom=$archivo'>";
$ff2 = "</a>";
if (is_dir($archivo))
{
printf("<tr><td width='410'><p align='left'><strong>$ff1 $file $ff2 </strong><?p><br></td>\n");
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
else
{
echo "No se pudo abrir ".$dir;
}
}

function imprimir_files($dir, $n_espacios,$as, $ds)
{
if ($handle = opendir( $dir ))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file[0] != ".")
{
$archivo = $dir . "/" .$file;
$fecha_arch = gmdate("M d Y H:i:s",filectime($archivo));
$tam = filesize($archivo);
$link = realpath($archivo);
$ff1 = "<a href='$link'>";
$ff2 = "</a>";
$as++;

			if (is_file($archivo))
			{				
			    printf("<tr height='10'>
	         	<td width='410'><span class='style2'><div align='left'>$ff1 $file $ff2</div><?span><br></td>
  			 	<td width='115'><span class='style2'><div align='right'>$tam bytes</div><?span></td>
			 	<td width='155'><span class='style2'><div align='right'>$fecha_arch</div><?span></td>\n");
			}			

		}

  	}
closedir($handle);
}

}
?>

to calll
printf("<table width=680 cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=0 align='center'>
<tbody><tr align='center' bgcolor='#dfdfdf'><td> Archivo </td><td> Tamaño </td>
<td> Fecha </td></tr>");
$n_espacios = 0;
imprimir_dirs($nom);
imprimir_files($nom,$n_espacios,$as,$ds);
printf("</tbody></table>");

\<machinename><resource name>..... it's also an URL

Not according to the specification, it's not. A URL is supposed to start with a scheme describing how the resource's llocation is being described: http, ftp, mailto, news, telnet, file, .... The client uses it to decide which protocol it should use to request the resource.

you R right..... i was talking in a general way....
but you are right 😃

ill try a manual translation with the strings functions....

thanks again...
