Re: [PHP] smart auto download file
it's made in JavaScript, by creating an iframe loading the file, but their downloader might use something like a php file to force download such as ?php $filePath='/var/wwwblablah.zip'; header('Content-type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=azipfile.zip'); readfile($filePath); ?

Re: [PHP] smart auto download file
Hi thanks for your help jean I've used this code before. But I want a little different thing. I need to tell something to the user before starting download. something like Your download will begin in a moment... . So header couldn't help me. If I try to echo anything header doesn't work!

You have the iframe point to your PHP script, and the rest of the page is what you use for your message, etc. The Iframe can be hidden with CSS, and it will still issue the call to download the file. -- Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
Re: [PHP] smart auto download file
gosh, I should have read before answering for the downloader thing. BUT you actually need javascript if you want to do it. You create an hidden iframe somewhere on your page, you give him the url of your file and pop it is downloaded, and you need simply to use javascript function setInterval to do that after a couple of seconds!

You do not need javascript to do this, or an iframe. Use a meta refresh tag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh Sometimes I miss the way the web was before javascript :/ -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ On 31 May 2011 20:38, Ali Asghar Toraby Parizy aliasghar.tor...@gmail.comwrote: Hi thanks for your help jean I've used this code before.

If I try to echo anything header doesn't work! Couldn't you just do an HTML redirect? !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN html head titleFile Download/title meta http-equiv=REFRESH content=10;url=http://www.example.net/download;/HEAD BODY PYour download will start in a few seconds./P PIf your download fails to start automatically, A HREF=http://www.example.net/download;click here/A./P /BODY /HTML Of course, this is the resulting HTML you want to produce (or something like it). You'll obviously get PHP to echo the appropriate URL. This approach has the benefit that it'll work on anything. My prefered browser does not support javascript, so you look me out of your site if you use it.
