I was going to post another follow-up question in a pending thread here but
it seems to have been deleted. Anyway, I am trying to write a download
script that will downloaded files from my site. All these files need to be
protected so just anybody cant come to the site and download them. I have
already created a login environment for this site and just need to make my
file downloads work. Currently they are in a directory protected by
.htaccess.
I was told on the previous thread that I needed to place the files that are
protected by .htaccess ouside of the webroot in order for PHP to have rights
to them. My web root is /home/lgxdlr/mainwebsite_html/ I put the secure
directory called test in /home/lgxdlr/
I am trying to dowload a file using readfile(), but PHP still cant seem to
get to the file. Here is my code:
<?php
$file = "/home/lgxdlr/test/".$_GET['file']."";
if (file_exists(basename($file))) {
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));
@readfile($file);
} else {
echo "$file<br>";
echo basename($file);
echo "<br>No File Found";
}
?>
If anyone can give me a hand with this please post.
Thanks,
Aaron
