I've got the following test download script:
if ($_GET['file'] == 'wav') {
$filePath = '/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.co.uk/httpdocs/audio/test.wav';
} elseif ($_GET['file'] == 'mp3') {
$filePath = '/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.co.uk/httpdocs/audio/track1.mp3';
}
//Gather relevent info about file
$len = filesize($filePath);
$filename = basename($filePath);
$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));
//This will set the Content-Type to the appropriate setting for the file
switch( $file_extension ) {
case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break;
case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break;
case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break;
case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break;
case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
case "jpeg":
case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
case "mp3": $ctype="audio/mpeg"; break;
case "wav": $ctype="audio/x-wav"; break;
case "mpeg":
case "mpg":
case "mpe": $ctype="video/mpeg"; break;
case "mov": $ctype="video/quicktime"; break;
case "avi": $ctype="video/x-msvideo"; break;
//The following are for extensions that shouldn't be downloaded (sensitive stuff, like php files)
case "php":
case "htm":
case "html":
case "txt": die("<b>Cannot be used for ". $file_extension ." files!</b>"); break;
default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}
//Begin writing headers
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
//Use the switch-generated Content-Type
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
//Force the download
$header="Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename.";";
header($header );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".$len);
readfile($filePath);
Now it works fine, however it wont let me download more than one file at once, or even navigate away from the page that has the links to this download script until the download is complete.
