In this post, i want to explain download any file using php script. It will useful when we are developing a website like In that website have list of files and users can download those files. In my previous post i have explain how to get extension of file, using that post get the extension.
PHP Code
Script is as follows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | <?php $filename = '[file name].[extension]'; $ctype="application/[extension]"; // required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); header("Pragma: public"); // required header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers header("Content-Type: $ctype"); // change, added quotes to allow spaces in filenames header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";" ); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename)); readfile("$filename"); exit(); ?> |
We can write this script for all types of files. We write this script in a function and just we pass the files with complete path. In this way we can use this script.
Hope it will be useful.
