Hi,
I am a newbie to php so pls be gentle.
I am having problems while downloading a file via this script. I am sending
the following headers and then a call to readfile function in the swcript.
This leads to opening of a download popup but the file name being shown is
the name of the script file rather than of the file which I am forcing the
user to download. Another problem is that when the file is downloaded a new
line character is added to the top of it unncessarily due to which it can't
be opened with any image viewer.
Once I reomove that newline character, it works fine.
Script.php
//some validations go here.
$relative_file =
"http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).
"/../Dir/".$fileName;
Why are you reading the file through http when it's on the same server? Try
$relative_file = "../Dir/".$fileName;
header('Content-type: image/jpeg');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . $relative_file);
$relative_file contains "http:// ..... and so on". You should use $fileName
@readfile($relative_file);
Thanks in Advance,
Kishore Divick.
