[PHP] Problems downloading files via https in IE 6
I posted this once under another subject, but didn't get any responses. I'm stuck on this, and could really use some help. I have the following php code for downloading a file to the user via the browser: // Open csv file. $fp = fopen(fileOnServer.csv, r); // Set headers for csv download. header(Content-Type:application/csv); header(Content-Disposition:attachment; filename=downloadFile.csv); header(Content-Transfer-Encoding:binary); // Put it to the browser. fpassthru($fp); This works great in Mozilla and IE 6 via http, and it works in Mozilla via https, but for some reason in IE 6 via https, my filename is mysteriously replaced by a truncated version of my page url. This results in an error, because the file (obviously) cannot be found to be downloaded. Is it something I'm doing, or is this an IE problem? And if so, are there any work-arounds? I can get it working with a re-direct to the file after saving it, but that means my server file and my download file have to have the same name, which I would like to avoid.

This works great in Mozilla and IE 6 via http, and it works in Mozilla

This is the workaround I use for the IE/https download problems.
Not sure if it's the same problem, but let me know if this helps:
?php
$fname = yourfile.csv;
$mimetype = application;
$mimesubtype = unknown;
$fp = fopen($fname,r);
header(Content-type: $mimetype/$mimesubtype);
header(sprintf('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=%s',
basename($fname)));
header(Expires: 0);
header(Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0);
header(Pragma: public);
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);

Hi,

Probably permissions still - the parent directory must also be accessible
to the user that the web server runs as.

RE: [PHP] Problems with files!!!!!
I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but I have found that unless the
file exists, I can't open it. Have you verified that the file exists and the
user that the script will run as has the appropriate permissions?

I think you are mistaken. According to the PHP manual page, with fopen the
option 'w' does the following:
"Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and
truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create
it. "
In this case the line:
$fp = fopen("tmp/some.dat", "w"); // trying to open file in my
Would create the file if it did not exist, but you make a good point that
permissions need to be set. The directory would need to probably be world
writable (usually 755 or xrw-rw-rw).

RE: [PHP] Problems uploading Files
Hello Sebastian, What a timely posting! I am trying to figure out how to allow a user (using any internet-connected pc) to upload a file to my PHP-enabled server. I am trying to use PHP and the FTP functions, but can't figure out how to address the file on the user's machine. Any hints from anyone as to how to do this? Or am I on the wrong track, altogether? Someone else suggested that I use an HTML 'upload', but I can't find anything about this in my HTML documentation. Any help much appreciated!!!

Re: [PHP] Problems uploading Files
Sebastian, Apache is running as a user, usually nobody:nobody, or sometimes www:www. That user is trying to move the file when you do the move in php. When you login through an ftp client, a different user is doing the move (you). You need to make sure that the user nobody has enough permissions on your target directory to do the move. Depending on how locked down you want it, there are several options: rwx for owner only, make the owner/group of the directory nobody. rwx for group - change the directory's group to nobody, or add nobody into another group (along with, for instance, yourself) and make that directory belong to this new group. There are several more ways, but you probably want to keep away from 777 permissions on the directory if possible. John - you want to do what Sebastian is doing. Check out Chapter 19. Handling file uploads in the php manual. It has everything you need to get going.
