RE: [PHP] left click downloads
here is a simple function I have created to do single click downloads in php
-
function sendFile($filepath) {
$filename = basename($filepath);
$mimeType = mime_content_type($filepath)
header("Content-type: $mimeType");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
readfile($filepath);
}
In Unix can anyone post a method of obtaining mimeType using the file
command which could be compatible with this function?
I guess this is possible... my understanding is that mime_content_type() is
based on unix file commands method of pattern matching 'magic bytes' of
known file formats.
hope this is useful to some of you...

Hi Javier,
Nope, this is not a php thing at all. You could probably get it right
with Javascript or something similar.

Subject: [PHP] left click downloads
I want to make it easier for people to download files from my website by
having the download start when the visitor clicks a link (as opposed to
right click / save target as).
How can I achieve this with PHP? Do I include the file in a header()
call ?
Thanks,
javier

To force virtually any browser into download mode, specify your content
being an application/octet-stream:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
Of course, if you're serving an MSWord document (phew) you might have
MSWord open directly in the browser:
header('Content-Type: application/msword');

Yes.
