[PHP] File download question
Hi Everyone,
I've setup a filedownload which works but i'm having an issue, i've
left out but when it downloads it, while it has the correct file it
doesn't have a file extension associated with it, I need the .7z
extension associated with the filename, can anyone see why that would
do this below?
I'm sure it's something obvious but i'm new to doing file downloads.
Thank you everyone
Chris
$file = SOMEFILE.7Z;
$speed = 60; // i.e. 60 kb/s download rate
if(file_exists($file) is_file($file)) {
header(Cache-control: private);
header(Content-Type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Length: .filesize($file));
header(Content-Disposition: filename=$file . %20);
flush();
$fd = fopen($file, r);
while(!feof($fd)) {
echo fread($fd, round($speed*1024)); // $speed kb at a time
flush();
sleep(1);
}
fclose ($fd);
}

Re: [PHP] File download question
I think that your problem in this line:
header(Content-Disposition: filename=$file . %20);
I don't know what that %20 is for and you should quote the filename,
that line should be something like this:
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\$file\);
Considering that $filename already has the 7z extension.

That is for IE and its silly FileName[N] rather than FileName
here a good old function to download:

Re: [PHP] File download problem
I checked the files with an HEX editor, and I found that each downloaded
file starts with EFBBBF, and after those three bytes follows the
regular file.
If I delete those three bytes, I can open the files just fine.
Now the question is: Why do I get those three extra bytes at the
beginning of each file I download with my script?
Thanks

You can use this code instead to read in the file and output it to the

Greetings,
I need to create a script to let registered users to download files
from a non-public folder.
The files name, type, and size are stored in a MySQL Database. The
user need to click on a link, and a PHP script should handle the
download of the file.
Here is how I organized it:
The script gets the ID from the $_GET array, retrieve the name, type,
and size from the database, and then it sends the following:
[CODE]
header(Content-Type: $type);
header(Content-Length: . filesize($fileNameWithAbsolutePath));
header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
header(Expires: 0);
header(Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate);
header(Cache-Control: private);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\$fileName\);
readfile($fileNameWithAbsolutePath) or die(File not found.);
[/CODE]
This script needs to work with any file type. I checked it and it
works fine with PDF, TXT, and MP3 for example, but not with ODT, DOC,
or JPG which are corrupted and won't even open. Those are the only
files I tried so far.
I should add that the connection to the web page is encrypted through
SSL. The server (Fedora 9) runs Apache 2.2.9, PHP Version 5.2.6, and
MySQL version 5.0.51a.
I cannot find any solution to this problem, and I hope that anyone
here can help me.
Thank you.

Re: [PHP] File download problem
I had a similar problem with a script I was using to stream video clips
to a user from a directory that was not accessible through the web.
Turned out I had already sent some HTML content down to the browser
without realising it. I'll go out on a limb here and guess that those
three bytes you're seeing are always the same three? If so, it's highly
likely you are sending some content to the browser ahead of the file,
which gets added to the beginning of the file.

Re: [PHP] File download problem
Thanks for the reply.
I think I found the problem here: The php file was saved with UTF-8
encoding, and for some unknown reason it was adding the UTF-8 BOM to the
output as well. I just saved the PHP file as ANSI, and it worked like a
charm.
Thank you for all your help :)

That bug report makes sense now, in light of your problem.

[PHP] File Download Headers
Can any experts on this list explain to me why, despite the 1,000,000 places that application/octet-stream is documented to work, and has always worked, since Mosaic 1.0 days, people manage to find these goofball Content-type: headers that are supposed to work, but only work in a handful of browsers, and then they write tutorials as if it's the Right Way, and then those tutorials get past alleged Editors, and are all you can find from Google? Anybody? Cuz I really just don't understand why I'm seeing this same damn question about 5 times PER DAY between here and IRC ##php I just do not understand what is the aversion is to: Content-type: application/octet-stream IT WORKS! ALL BROWSERS! FOR ALL TIME! TRY IT!!! Mosaic 1.0, works. IE, all versions, works. Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox, all versions, works Safari, all versions, works. Lynx, all versions, works. It JUST WORKS! Why, oh why, are we endlessly seeing posts and tutorials using other headers that DO NOT WORK ON ALL BROWSERS. * Yes, ALL browsers, including Mosaic 1.0, thank you very much. This post was partially made in the probably futile hope that maybe somebody will find it and use it so I don't answer this question 5 times again tomorrow.

Well, I can't vouch for any goofballs, their editors, nor google, but
unfortunately sometimes an alternative to application/octet-stream has
to be used to work around brokenness in certain versions of IE...We used
octet-stream, and had a small portion of users complaining because they
couldn't open the file that was downloaded - I can't open
download.php, hence the workaround.
- We can't use download.php?/filename.ext - (long story, but suffice it
to say that it can't be done for non-technical reasons.)
- IE doesn't take the Content-Disposition in some cases unless you use a
different content-type.
Our code basically does this:
if (IE) {
use wrong content type;
if (IE 5.5) {
use broken content disposition;
} else {
use normal content disposition;
}
} else {
do things in a standard way;
}

But they downloaded it.
They HAVE the data, it's just got a filename they don't know what to
do with.
If they just change the extension to whatever it should be, it would
be fine.

Well, then, you've just eliminated a correct technical solution for
non-technical reasons...
I cannot do much about that...
Actually, if you REALLY want to be browser-compliant back to the stone
age, and througout the dreaded 3.x and 4.x series, you would need to
get the URL to be just:
http://example.com/script_that_looks_like_dirname/filename.ext
That odd-looking dirname is a PHP script.
URL juggling with mod_rewrite ForceType and $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] is
the tech.
The browser then CANNOT screw up beause it looks like a static URL.
- IE doesn't take the Content-Disposition in some cases unless you use
a
different content-type.
Our code basically does this:
if (IE) {
use wrong content type;
if (IE 5.5) {
use broken content disposition;
} else {
use normal content disposition;
}
} else {
do things in a standard way;
}
My code basically looks like this:
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
Though, admittedly, the 3 lines in .htaccess should count
And, if you want input parameters in the URL instead of GET (which
will mess up FDF files) then there's another 20 lines to parse
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] into an array, just like $_GET and $_POST, only
not.
But then, that code is in an include file and gets re-used for a lot
of different rich media (images, PDF, Ming flash movies, etc) so it's
got a decent re-use factor.
Maybe I'm just re-using code from 5 years ago that could be replaced
by the browser-detecting (assuming the user-agent doesn't lie) and
using some new-fangled headers...
Or I could just keep using the code that cannot break. Yeah, I like
that.

Re: [PHP] File Download Problems
Chances are your 1KB file contains an error message - try changing the
Content-Type to text/plain or text/html to see what PHP is throwing at you

Re: [PHP] File Download Problems
Ave,
I made a change last evening, and since the change.. It seems to be working
fine. Thus far I haven't had the 1 KB downloaded file problem. I have been
trying all evening and this morning, from different places, and somehow
right now it seems to be working fine.
What I simply did was this:
Instead of
a
href=\imsafm_user_dl.php?ID=$myrow[ID]P=imsafm/$userF=$myrow[filename]\
img src=b_newtbl.png border=0/a
As my link to the download file, I changed it to
a href=\imsafm_user_dl.php?F=imsafm/$user/$myrow[filename]\img
src=b_newtbl.png border=0/a
And changed the code in the download file to
?php
header(Content-Description: File Transfer);
header(Content-Type: application/force-download);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=.basename($F));
@readfile($F);
?
I didn¹t need to send the ID var to the download file, and I condensed the
number of Variables I was passing.
Somehow this seems to be working for me. I was just trying this out to one
by one eliminate possibilities. And it works.Since I made this change, the
actual file is being downloaded and not the 1 KB file.
I don¹t really know why though. I understand I didn¹t need to divide the
path into 2 variables. But what if I really needed to send the ID variable?
I don¹t exactly understand how this setup of Variables affected the file
being downloaded.
Thanks anyways.

[PHP] File Download link not working in PHP 4.3.4
I have a script that dynamically generates a CSV file for downloading to MS Excel. The script works fine in PHP 4.3.3 on a Windows machine using Apache 2, and the exact same script does not work in PHP 4.3.4 on Solaris 9 using Apache 1.3.29. A script with essentially the same header commands works in PHP 4.3.1 on Solaris 9 using Apache 1.3.27. The script is supposed to pop up a window to prompt the user to either open the document from its current location or save it to disk. On the systems that work, the window pops up with the expected file name. On the system that does not work, the window pops up with the URL for the script that generates the file instead of the file name. When the OK button is clicked, an error dialog pops up with the message Internet Explorer cannot download ... [snipped URL]. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

[PHP] file download using header
I am having some trouble making it possible to download a file using the header function. The problems are: (1) I get the dialog box to download the file, but for some reason the type of file isn't getting passed to the box, and (2) when I download a 4MB file it only seems to be getting 16.6KB. I haven't used header for this purpose before this, so maybe I am missing something. I Googled around and found the content-disposition type I thought I needed, I actually tried 3 different types (the file is a compressed zip file). I Googled around for tutorials on downloading files and still haven't found the answer to correcting my problem. Here is the code I am using, maybe a couple more trained eyes looking at this could help me out. ?php $download = 'http://www.usa-financial.com'.urldecode( $_GET['link'] ); $type = urldecode( $_GET['type'] ); $size = filesize( '/home2/www/usa-financial'.urldecode( $_GET['link'] ) ); header(Content-type: $type); header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$download;); header(Accept-Ranges: bytes); header(Content-Length: $size); echo !-- $type \n $size \n $download \n --\n; ?

Re: [PHP] File Download
Maybe I should clarify this: I have a the php file: /var/www/html/dev/view_files_disply.php This file accepts a POST argument which identifies $filename (example 1392_foobar.txt) of a file stored on the server at: /var/www/html/files/1392_foobar.txt This filename is generated by PHP and is therefore rather cryptic. I have more meaningful filenames stored in a database example: 1392_foobar.txt - foobar.txt I would like the view_files_display.php script to send the appropriate file to the user, with the appropriate filename (foobar.txt), but to leave the file 1392_foobar.txt on the server unmodified for future requests. I am currently considering copying the file and renaming it, and then using a header(location=) to redirect the user to the renamed file, but I'm not sure how to ensure that the temporary file is deleted afterwards.

Re: [PHP] File download by php header...
Found the problem. It is the odbc_connect() that cause the download to fall short of completing it's download. Weird! I think it's because the database connection have a slower response time than the download response time. PHP header should not be affected by the odbc function... But then I remember about the past problem with the CGI Error when it come to php header function and odbc which I don't have this problem with ISAPI. Funny I'm getting this problem, but fortunately, the workaround is to do the odbc connection after I use the php header and that took care of it.

[21-Jul-2003 09:15:33] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30
seconds exceeded in
D:\filepath\menu\tech_support.php on line 47
--snip
So, how does the php header(content-disposition:attachment;
filename='***') cause the php timeout in the first place, what seem to be
the problem?
It seems like $DownloadUpdateArray[$_REQUEST['dw_code']][1] takes so long.
Or the previous code alwyas takes 29.9 secs, who knows.
You can tell php.ini that scripts can take some time longer dan 30 secs, or
you can add a line to prolong the script time
(http://nl2.php.net/function.set-time-limit) or you can try to make that
function faster.
I have some extra headers to prevent several problems:
header(Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT); // Date in
the past
header(Last-Modified: . gmdate(D, d M Y H:i:s) . GMT); // always
modified
header(Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate); // HTTP/1.1
header(Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0, false);
header(Pragma: no-cache); // HTTP/1.0
header(Content-type: text/csv); //adapt to
your file type
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=filename.ext');
Note that internet explorer 5.5 does not accept the 'attachment' part so
for your header with 'attachement;' in it consider to add this conditional:
if (strstr($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT],MSIE 5.5)) {$att = ;} else {$att
= attachment;;}
Thanks,
Scott

Um, problem is I don't have any scripts before this sample header function. So, something is up. Does the file size 49 MB have something to do with it?

[PHP] File download
Hi,
Anybody knows the solution to the following:
I am trying to force the download of a file called
dadada.txt.
I have a file named downloadFile.php
It is invoked like this:
a
href=downloadFile.php?daFile=path/dadada.txtdadada.txt/a
However within the downloadFile.php the $daFile
argument is empty. This is the file:
?
session_start();
if($_SESSION['isValidSession'] == 'Y'){
$daFile = $_GET['daFile'];
$size=filesize($daFile);
if($daFile != ){
//header(Cache-control: private);
header(Content-Type:
texapplication/octet-stream\n);
header(Content-Length: . $size .\n);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\$daFile\\n);
// header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
}
require(footer.php);
}else{
printf(br You are not autherized to view this
page);
}
?
A download happens but the downloaded file name is
downloadFile and not dadada.txt
Why would you think this is happening?
Cheers.

Re: [PHP] File Download?
It would be:
a
href=downloadFile.php?daFile=path/fileNamepath/fileName/a
I tried to print the _GET['daFile'] however if I am
using the header function in the same file then it
won't print a thing. In fact it starts downloading.
The only thing is that it doesn't catch the correct
file name (though it downloads the actual daFile).

[PHP] File Download
Hello
I have a script that after login gives the user access to one directory. The
directory depends on their login.
After login a list of files is displayed with a check box in front of each file.
Under the list of files there are several buttons, Copy, Delete, Rename, Upload, and
Download. When you check a box, and select a a button, lets say copy, you are given
a new window to enter the new name. Once entered and you select continue the a copy
is made and the list of files is refreshed, displaying also the new file. All the
buttons function this way except the download which is where I have problems.
I a file management class I have a function for each operation. The code for the
download function is as follows:
function downloadFile($filename)
{
$result = ;
if(file_exists($this-_memberDir . / . $filename))
{
header(Content-type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename);
header(Pragma: no-cache);
if (!readfile($this-_memberDir . / . $filename))
$result = $filename . successfully downloadedbr;
}
else
{
$result = Download Failed for . $filename . , does not existbr;
}
return $result;
}
When this function runs, I get the download box that allows the user to select where
they want to save there file and a file gets saved. After this code returns the
$result should be printed at the top of the browser window and the list of files
displayed again. What happens is the results and the list of files, the html code
for the next screen, is appended to the end of the file that was downloaded. I can
put an exit() inplace of return and I get the correct file size downloaded but I
still don't get my screen refreshed. I would think that I should be able to put
another header statement after the download to indicate the no more data goes into
the file but is to be displayed by the browser. I can't figure out how to get this
to work.
Thanks

Re: [PHP] File Download
have the file download in a popup window.
after the down load the window will be gone.
Then you don't have to worry about the refreshing of the main window.

[PHP] File download + HTTP auth problem.
Hello,
I have this simple script called index.php in a directory protected with
HTTP auth (require valid-user):
?php
$archivo = '/somewhere/out/docroot/registro.csv';
header('Content-Type: application/octect-stream');
header('Content-Length: '.filesize($archivo));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=registro.csv');
readfile($archivo);
?
When I access the directory with Netscape/Mozilla/Galeon it works fine,
Apache asks the login and password and the script sends the file. But
with MSIE 6.x (from Windows XP) it does not work: it presents the download
dialog asking to save or open the file, but then MSIE reports an error
and does not download the file. I discovered later that Konqueror asks for
the login and password again when the download starts. What could be
causing this?. Thanks in advance.
Rodolfo.

Simply, HTTP Authentification
Header(WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm='something')
does not work with microsoft product, so you need to buy Microsoft
authentification from Microsoft to do something like it.

Right, I figured you knew this as it is documented. You can change that

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] File download doesn't work with SSL
No, I hadn't realized that's what controlled the no-cache being sent.
I switched it to none and it works now. Thanks.

Right, I figured you knew this as it is documented. You can change
that
in your php.ini file using the session.cache_limiter directive.

[PHP] File download doesn't work with SSL
Everyone, I've had a simple download script working where a user would click on a link and the program would send word or excel headers instead of HTML. The file would then be opened in the appropriate program and the user could save/edit it. Now that we've loaded everything under SSL, it doesn't work. Here are the headers I send: header(content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name='excel'); header(content-disposition: attachment; filename= . $filename . .xls); Now, the pages in question are just regular HTML tables. If there is a export2=excel in the URL, then these two additional headers will be sent. The dialog to save/open the file pops up, but when you try to open/save the file, IE says it cannot be found. If I put in a echo before these two headers (or comment them out), the page is shown correctly as HTML, so the code is correct. Are there any special headers I have to send to enable this file download while under SSL, or is it something else I'm overlooking? Thanks for any help. ---John Holmes...

Re: [PHP] File download doesn't work with SSL
I believe in miracles. I have searched Microsoft and the first link was actually related to my problem... Okay, I found an IE issue where downloads over SSL will choke when you send a no-cache header. It says to use a no-store cache-control header, instead. I tried this: header(cache-control: no-store); header(content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name='excel'); header(content-disposition: attachment; filename= . $filename . .xls); and I'm still getting the same thing. Is the no-cache cache-control header sent automatically by PHP at all? I don't have one set explicitly in my code.

Re: [PHP] File download doesn't work with SSL
Are you sure? I think (I might be wrong) using PHP sessions automatically sends the Cache-Control header. I cannot remember what directives it uses. Perhaps the fact that you do not use correct case makes PHP miss the fact that you want to reassign Cache-Control to use a different value? If this is true, you might be sending: Cache-Control: no-cache cache-control: no-store Just an idea ... Chris Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: Nope, PHP does not send that. On Mon, 7 Oct 2002, 1LT John W.

Re: [PHP] File download doesn't work with SSL
Yes, you're right. You might want to turn off the forced SSL temporarily to debug this, if that's possible. Nothing other than your browser or the Web server will be able to show you the HTTP communication over SSL, because it's all trash to everything in between. There may be settings in Opera that can help you debug things; I'm not sure. I am not aware of any browser that does that for you, though it would be very handy. I wrote an HTTP proxy in PHP for my own use in such affairs. Email me if you would like to try it to see if it helps. Chris John W.

RE: [PHP] File download doesn't work with SSL
Thanks for the help guys. Like I said, the download works fine as long as it's not over SSL. I will try to disable it and see if I can look at the headers sent to see if a no-cache header is being sent, even though I haven't specified it. Regardless, even if it is, I have no way of stopping it, since I'm not controlling the sending of it, do I? If it is the session doing it, maybe I can send a no-store header before I call session_start? Hopefully upgrading to SP2 for IE6 will fix this.

[PHP] File Download With A Twist....
G'Day,
I would like to do the following when a user clicks on a link to this PHP
script. The script would be located on www.myserver.com but the page with
the link would be on a mirror say in Australia (www.someserver.com.au):
- Log info about the user download request to a text file
- Display a page ("Thankyou for downloading . If you download does not
start automatically. etc.)
- Start a download of a file from a remote server based on the parameters to
the script
Eg: Suppose that the page on www.someserver.com.au contained the following
link http://www.myserver.com/dnld.php?loc=aufile=somefile.zip
- Log info about the user download request to a text file
Write this info into a text file on www.myserver.com
- Display a page ("Thankyou for downloading . If you download does not
start automatically. etc.)
Display the page in the user's browser
- Start a download of a file from a remote server based on the parameters to
the script
Essentially initiate http://www.someserver.com.au/somefile.zip
TIA

While we are on the subject, I made some tests with Apache logs and it seems that Apache writes the size of the file that you are DL to the log file at the beginning of the transfer.

Remember that everything you are sending to the browser -- whether it be by
print, echo, readfile, or HTML code outside of ?PHP ... ?, becomes the
file the user is downloading. If you were to open the gzip file you're
sending, you'd notice that the "BRBRBRBRH1BThe file was
downloaded/B successfully/B/H1BRBRBRBR" is being appended to
the end of that file.

One option could be to use ignore_user_abort:
?PHP
ignore_user_abort(0); // Script will be aborted if transfer fails for
whatever reason
?
blahblahblahyaddityyaddiy yaddity
?PHP
// If we're this far, it means the file's more or less transferred all the
way.
file_did_download();
?
Caveats with this:
1. Your file has to be part of the PHP page (though not neccessarily in the
file itself, header("content-type: blah/blah"); combined with
readfile($filename) will do the trick I think.
2. You (probably) can't use programs that are capable of resuming file
transfers. If you can somehow, I have NO idea how it'll react.
3. If the user aborts right after the file_did_download() function is called
but before the script actually terminates, things can go awry. I'm not
entirely sure how this would be handled.

Re: [PHP] File Download Completion
Hi Berber, The only way I've figured this at the moment is to use the web server access logs.

RE: [PHP] File Download Completion
I thought of this log thing but we are talking about logs that can be hundreds of MB per day. I'm talking about logs of a very big portal, starting to analyze this is useless :) thanks berber -Original Message- From: Andy Woolley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 2:55 PM To: Boaz Yahav; Php-General Subject: Re: [PHP] File Download Completion Hi Berber, The only way I've figured this at the moment is to use the web server access logs.

RE: [PHP] File Download Completion
Seems like your theory doesn't stand the reality test :)
This is the script which for some reason works with Netscape but not with IE
(it used to) :
ignore_user_abort(0);
$filename="test.gz";
$file="/home/examples/" . $filename;
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Content-Type: application/x-gzip");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
if(!$fp) {
echo"Can't open file for read";
exit();
}
print fread($fp, filesize($file));
echo"BRBRBRBRH1BThe file was downloaded
successfully/B/H1BRBRBRBR";
For some reason it never shows the last echo weather i let the DL complete
or stop it
in the middle...

One option could be to use ignore_user_abort:
?PHP
ignore_user_abort(0); // Script will be aborted if transfer fails for
whatever reason
?
blahblahblahyaddityyaddiy yaddity
?PHP
// If we're this far, it means the file's more or less transferred all the
way.
file_did_download();
?
Caveats with this:
1. Your file has to be part of the PHP page (though not neccessarily in the
file itself, header("content-type: blah/blah"); combined with
readfile($filename) will do the trick I think.
2. You (probably) can't use programs that are capable of resuming file
transfers. If you can somehow, I have NO idea how it'll react.
3. If the user aborts right after the file_did_download() function is called
but before the script actually terminates, things can go awry. I'm not
entirely sure how this would be handled.
