Works great! Thanks!

odd that you don't appear to use the script itself to distribute the download on this page...

zubrag: We don't use it on zubrag.com because we are not trying to avoid direct downloads, and for downloads tracking we use Google Analytics. Google Analytics will not track direct downloads, but it is not a big issue.

Nice. In the 7th header line, is the ; after ...filename=$fname;); an error?
I mean the ; inside the end ).

Really,, nice job. Thanx zubrag, I am waiting for your other script.

Too bad thee is no instructions on how to add the downlad links to the page. What I find on this page is quite vague!!!

Thanks for this script. Had used others in the past that produced errors but this one works fine. Danke :)

Awesome script! 1 question though, is it possible to make this script display some html and then give the download? Please help as I have a project due in very soon!

zubrag: why don't show HTML first from your application, and from that HTML give the download link? For example you might have webpage "X" wich lists some products for download, and each product has link to the HTML page "Y" (the HTML page you want added to the downloader), which would contain actual download link. Such solution seems to be more flexible since you would have more control over it. Wouldn't that work?

heh.. just right click -> open in new window and file's URL appears ;>

zubrag: that way you'll only get "download via this downloader" URL. It will not reveal the real file path, thus avoiding direct downloads.

Hello! I want to ask that is download.php should be in same directory as the files which are to be downloaded with this script.

Because this error is displaying:

File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

my download.php is located in
public_html/download/

& downloads are located in
public_html/download/downloads/

why the error is coming?

zubrag: you can place download.php where you want. Try putting absolute path (i.e. path from the root folder) in the BASE_DIR. In your case following relative path should also work: define('BASE_DIR','downloads/');

Great script but doesn't work with Internet Explorer 6+?

zubrag: strange, it works fine with my IE6 and Firefox. Could you provide more details?

i want U to posted it to me

i'm using winXP, it is successful when download a zip file, but after download a pdf file the file seems corrupted, it cannot be opened with acrobat reader, any suggest? thx

zubrag: Cannot reproduce this problem. Can you provide more details? Your browser name, version? Maybe you are trying to download already broken file?

cool

Suppose if i want to add rmvb, rm, mkv, ogm, mp4, files to the allow file types, how should i do it?

zubrag: update allowed_ext array with your new allowed extensions, and its mime type.
For example here we are adding mp4:
// video
'mpeg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mp4' => 'video/mp4',
'mpg' => 'video/mpeg',
...
To determine mime type for some extension just google extension with "mime type". For example mp4 mime type. You can leave mime type empty if you cannot find correct mime type. In this case above block will look like:
// video
'mpeg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mp4' => '',
'mpg' => 'video/mpeg',
...

Hi zubrag,
This is really a great Script. Its full filling all my needs. But I have a few problem. where as my filename has space inbetween it.

For example:
file name.jpg

so when I click the link im getting "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name." Error can you please help me to fix this problem.
Great thanks,
M. Suresh

Hi all
how if want to download from another site >

I'm trying to use your code in moviespot.as.ro/download.htm. It works for 2 small files but not with a 750KB file (first on page). Is there any way to "bypass" the server?

my file is located in another server which don't support php. from my site server which support php but there not enough space. how can i use this script, if i want to give user to download a file from file server without seeing file server url & with web site server url?

is it possible to integrate it to VBulliten

I can't get the log file to work. I have both the folder and log file itself chmodded. I even tried to let it create one on its own and it didn't. Suggestions?

I got the log working. I'm not sure you coded it to look for the downloads.log in the $base_dir. It was trying to find the file in the current directory it was at. I had to point it to the $base_dir where my downloads are kept.

just a thought.

Nice Script! A solution to this isn't vital, but if the file being downloaded has spaces in the filename, the script replaces spaces with underscores. Is there a way to maintain spaces?

how could i do that

1. i have the folder set to /path/to/folder/ but i have sub folders like:

/path/to/folder/1
/path/to/folder/2
etc
where my files are located

2. i want to name the filename diffrent then what it is in the folder, example.

i have filename in there called:
testfile.mp3 but i want to called it when the user saves it as myfile.mp3

so i can get these settings from a DB.

Great script - this is exactly what I needed for the seed of my secured download system. Thanks much for creating it!

Jay

Thanks for the time spent on this code.

something strange is happening. this code is working well with firefox but whilst using IE7 the browser displays the text in the file, those funny characters that appear when trying to open an audio file using notepad; no download is taking place. What could be the problem?

just found out the solution to my problem i highlighted above.

i added:
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");

to the headers.

Thanks for the code once again.

William

Great script! However I too cannot get the logs function to work. Folders are all set to be writeable, but no information is added to the log file itself.

hey zubrag thanks alot for the codes..

Hi,

This is the error I'm encounting at the moment. Any chance of explaining what is happening?

Currently running on a Linux Machine. Trying to download file from IE 6
Warning: opendir() [function.opendir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/Resource/IST07/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/teaching/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/teaching/public_html/Junior/downloaddata.php on line 83

Hi I'm looking for a script like www.driverguide.com, because I have a lot of drivers file to share in my server.

Please let me know if this is possible with Smart File Download

Thanks a Lot

Hi,

The script is very usefull, but for pdf files, you can download only up to 1,9 MB and the download process stops. And it says that the file is corrupted if you try to open it. Interesting problem.

Wow that is awsome. I was looking for some code for that functionality for hours on the internet. I am happy I finaly found a solution :)

Thank you

Hi, I found this script very useful.
I'm wondering if is possible to allow downloads with a download manager, such free download manager, when I start the downloas, it auto stop.
Thanks

hi..i need a script for access log.i ll be a very grateful if u mail with in one week..its badly neccessary for our project!!!

Great product. installed in seconds. worked perfectly 'out of the box'.

greatly appreciated.

The recursion into subdirectories does not quite work. It for example takes the first file by a certain name it finds and uses that. Try having it bring images that have both fullsize and thumbnail versions =)

I bypassed this by using the direct url, but checking that the realpath(url) is within base-url.

hello,
very nice script, and its working VERY nicely.

great job.

in my site .zip files download fine, and .avi files download fine.

but i have .rmvb files. and i've changed the mime type, but now i get wird letters, and they keep loading till my IE crashes.

I just wanted to konw how to allow all files, regardless of the mime type.

thanks

also,
i tried to include download.php in my index.php.



the download.php?f=file.zip works fine
but index.php?page=download&f=file.zip shows internal server error

Thank you very much for sharing your code. Can you (or anyone reading this) help in one area that isn't working? Whenever I create dynamic content (NOT a file) and want to "echo" that out into a filename, it will not work on FireFox using Free Download Manager. FDM picks up the original URL and downloads that instead. IE works just fine.

Any header protocols for FDM?

Perfecto, justo lo que estaba buscando. Muchas, muchas gracias.

"File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."

This is the error I get when I have installed the script. Yes, I have tweaked this with the directory in which I have the files in; not only with the lame path:

define('BASE_DIR','directory/');

BUT ALSO WITH

define('BASE_DIR','/home/user/domain.com/directory/');

AND it is still giving me the error!! Please fix this! ;)

For some reason when I changed the name in my file that I was working with, this script actually worked fine. It has a bug somewhere that needs to be fixed and hopefully you can find it. For now I will mess with it until I decide otherwise.

I am also getting this error:

"File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."

I've tried all manner of variations on the

define('BASE_DIR','');

i think i found something

[fixed]

terima kasihlah atas bimbingannya!!
viva zubraq !!!

WHAT IS THE PATH,HELLISH IT'S NOT WORKING.

it works..
http://www.zubrag.com/downloads/download.zip
btw, this script is veeeewwyyyyyy nicee~~!!
thanks ;)

Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooo.It's Working Well.Thanks To The Script Author.

I am trying to use the script to download more than 1 file and can not. Do you have any suggestions - thanks.

Hi. I recently installed Smart File Download and have come across a few problems maybe you can help with.

This is how I set up the code using my site's name where mydomain.com goes below

define('mydomain.com,'downloads/');

// log downloads? true/false
define('LOG_DOWNLOADS',true);

// log file name
define('downloads','downloads.log');

I chmod it to 766 since it did not work with 644
Is there anything on the lines above you think I should change in order to make the script work?. Thanks for helping

Installation:

1.Edit your absolute path so it look something like this.
define('BASE_DIR','/home/username/public_html/downloads_999/');

Those who get error because you forgot to put "public_html". If you enable log, you need to chmod the folder to 777. Because you need to chmod, you don't want to use your root right? so I create a folder call "downloads" and chmod it to 777.
2. Upload your PHP file to the "downloads" folder.
3. Put all your download to your "downloads_999"
4. your download link should look like this
http://www.domain.com/downloads/download.php?f=TEST.ZIP

all working, nice and easy, thanks!

But...

You can still copy link location (http://www.MYSITE.com/includes/download.php?f=sample.zip )paste into new browser and the file downloads without any issue? Am I missing the point here?

Code of great value here. Bumped into a problem today. set_time_limit is rejected by safe_mode, and if errors are displayed headers won't go, and there you go for file content display in page.

You can remove set_time_limit line, or modify errors settings. Chose first.

Very neat and very usefull script! Excellent work, thanks!

One remark: the logfile only works if you include the full path in the logfile name ;-)

Cheers!

Is there anything special to do with Content-Type for .rar files

how do i make this work with .iso files

Hi, Great Job
Mario Garcia

excellent .. thanks

Hi

Works fine for .pdfs but when i try with a .doc the .doc is corupted when downloaded thru the script, also the .pdf reader asks every user if they want to save changes after they have only viewed the .pdf. Im running apache under FreeBSD. Is there anything i could check?

for MIME Reference:

http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp

Thanks++ put to use in my website.. just wanted to ask.. does this have any known security issues ?

I am running this script on one server with fine results, but at the same time using on other server file gets corrupted on download. WHY?

Can u please help me.

Thanks in advance

Hi. I read somewhere here that in the define (BASE_DIR) area no URL should be included, but yet I read someone here used his domain name instead and got confused. Could I include my domain name without the http:// or is that meaning the root server for the domain name should be included instead?. Thanks for helping

I am a complete novice and trying to put this feature on my website. I have no idea what a root server is. I am using front pafe to design the website. Can someone tell me step by step what needs to be done.

Works good. Thanks to the script author.

Download Resume supported???

Nice code. I don't need it as it is, but it serves as a good example for what I am doing.

thank you very much for this script, it works really well, and so easy to use

Wow... Really i found awesome. thanks... Guys for creating this solution...

Great Work Guys...

Hi,

This is the error I'm encounting at the moment. Any chance of explaining what is happening?

Currently running on a Linux Machine. Trying to download file from IE 6

Some web hosts prevent you from accessing files outside of your directory_root directory. That is what causes this error.

If you are using byethost.com or swiftphp.com (same company same restrictions) you can not access files outside of directory_root.

thank you thank you sooo much. you helped me alot. :)

God bless

i want to be able to download a random file from a set of files in a folder. could somebody sugest how to do that.

Thanks, really usable and well documented script. I will be sure to check out the other stuff on your site. Thanks again!

I want to be able to download doc file or pdf file could somebody sugest how to do that

Good job! it really works
THANKS

It's great it's work very good...

You = lifesaver. Thank you so much for this script.

Excellent script. Suprised you have been able to achieve this with just one page. There is a similar script at gentlesource. However, it has a complex structure and leaves its url on each file (big nuisance). It is able to count the downloads for each file (advantage) while yours lists each download separately. Good work.

Muito Obrigado, Funcionou Perfeitamente!!!
I Will find for a simple and functional script like this!

The script is not capable for multi threading. I can only download one file at a time.

You should include an updated script to protect filepaths even more. I modified the script so that it picks up the filename from the database, and hence you only supply an ID for the download.
Downloads then look like this: domain.com/download.php?id=30

Excellent php script! Simple and elegant. Worked well from the beginning, and easy to customize and integrate into my site - Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for this excellent script. Easy to integrate, works fine righ away.

Notice on download it only allows one port for download. Any way I can change this?

Please Help Me I want to do download any file on your system while click on giving link

Works perfectly! This was just the example for which I was looking.

Absolutly Fantastic Work (Y)

i hope this work is fully secured

Thanks zubrag.com this is script used for me a lot
thank you very much.........
this will surely help us very much to secure our site
thanks Lot once again...

can any body give php script to send email to inbix

Hi. It took a couple hours but I figured out how to make this script function. And unlike some that will only give bit and pieces for you to puzzle together for your self, I will send a detailed "how to" file along with all the components to whomever wants it. Just email me at turner2f@yahoo.com Cheers! Thanks for making the script!

Hello, Thanks a lot, keep up the good work

I have the script working, but for some reason I can't get it to track .wmv video downloads. When I use it to track a .doc it works fine so i know i got my paths, and permissions set right.

I added:
'wmv' => 'video/x-ms-wmv'

So it lets me download it but it just doesn't track this specific filetype.. Am I doing anything wrong here?

Great script, thanks very much for putting it up. I have one minor question: using IE6 to download a file, say, edu.uni.java_1.0.0.jar, I get "edu[1].uni.java_1.0.0.jar" as the 'save as' filename. Any ideas why, and any fixes known? Many thanks for your great script.

hi zubrag

thankyou thankyou, this script looks good!
thankyou for all your efforts and sharing them with us ...

everything working ...
i have 2 needs
QUESTION
how do i force "save as" dialog.
when in IE, the download immediately is downloaded by my download manager which opens and begins downloading, revealing the download URL.
cannot utilise your wonderful script until i can force"save as"

any clues for me?
thankyou for your time...
alto

Can I use this across two different domain? I need to store media files on a different server? So, can the path be to a different domain?

hye.
i really need to know how to read .txt,.html,.pdf and .doc file using php codes?

Nifty! A very useful script.

The Best script in the Net.
If authors could add temporary functions to it to avoid constant downloading for payed links - it could be the most substantional contribution of PHP in our lifes!

i want to attach a pdf file without using browser control

thanks for the file. I will use it in my new site: http://www.midisharing.cn

I am a novice programmer (at best), when I used this script, and clicked on the link that should have brought up the download, it displayed the code for the download.php page. Can anyone help me configure this better? thanks

Code is superb. But can you give me one example file to do easily. That is very useful for new programmer. Thanks. Great!...Code.

You have a section towards the end to remove bad characters, eg:
" ' \ /

You might want to change this to:
\ / : * ? " < > |

These are valid on many file systems, but they are invalid on Windows:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177506

Thanks for the script!

Great script Zubrag!
Is it easy to add a timeout on the links? Time out after downloaded 3 times from certain IP address. I'd definately pay for this.

Works great ! thanks a lot for the script. Will keep on visiting more this site

Thanks, works great. Appreciate you making this available, you just saved me a few hours...

Thanks.
I am using this www.razibmiah.com

yes timeouts should be a great addition..

would this script be indexed using http://gadelkareem.com/2007/12/10/sitemap-creator-02a-create-sitemaps-09-valid-for-google-yahoo-and-msn-sitemaps/
is it seo wise ?

works great - thanks for the effort

great script. i used it with a form to obtain some data before downloading. awesome!

How can I add the username (an maybe soemother information) to the logfile? Users have to auth with an NIS account to get to the webpage, but I don't know how to grab the username and add it.

You ROCK!

Thanks.

FLM

Muchas gracias!

I added
'tar' => 'application/x-tar',
'tgz' => 'application/x-compressed-tar',
'tar.gz' => 'application/x-compressed-tar',

Having some real trouble getting this to work :( It's back to the "Cannot Find Directory" problem.

When I see this:
define('BASE_DIR','/home/username/public_html/downloads');

Am I to think that everything other than "home" is to be changed to my own particular information?

Just trying to figure this out... I'm a noobie so I'm having some trouble.

My site is www.ceebysite.com and the download.php file resides in www.ceebysite.com/movietestflash/download calling for the file "download.zip" in the same directory.

Here's the total path that comes up when I try to run it:
C:\Sites\Single49\ceeby\webroot\movietestflash\download\download.php

Any advice?

Many thanks in advance...

chris

Works fine. Had to include the rar mime type but other than that, no problems.

Very nice, thank you for this!!

Zubrag, you must have a step by step procedure along with the Php script for us stupid people who are new to php.

Below is what I get when I press the link to download.

Warning: opendir(/downloads/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /" "/download.php on line 95

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /" "/download.php on line 97
File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

this is the full path to the file I want downloaded
http://iced-preview.com/downloads/BookStore_Pricing.psd


This is the link
<a href="http://iced-preview.com/download.php?f=downloads/BookStore_Pricing.psd">Download Price List</a>

This is what I put for the directory
define('BASE_DIR','/downloads/');

I also tried it with the full path and got the same result.

I'm sure there's a simple solution to this but I'm very new to php so I would appreciate any help. thx

HI.

You have to erase the slash in front of download. Then it should look like this:

define('BASE_DIR','downloads/');

and work just nicely.
greetz.

Hey, Is there any way to download file using this script present on other server?

Hi! This is the error i'm getting please help me. I've tried to change define('BASE_DIR',"") but still...

Hi,
When you tried to open files directly from the brower, it will download but give an error when trying to open the document.

Thanks so much. We have had this problem in IE6 for a long time and this resolved this issue.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Its nice and simple script. any one can understand, thanks a lot for giving this.

am facing one in this script - i can download the file from my site into needed folder but i cannot open it, because it just copy the name of the downloaded file only, there is no content in this, thats y i cannot open/play it.

Plz give a solution for my problem to my mail id.

Actually am testing this localhost only
am getting confusion to give path.
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-8\www\project_name\downloads.

now am giving the base_dir - './downloads'.

hey.. it's working fabulous...
thanks a lot for giving this free script..

i want to download php file reader

This script works fine with Mozilla and IE6 but still not working with IE7... The page takes a lot of time to load (as if its processing the request) and then gives an error;

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Any ideas....

I've been using this great script since ver.1.21 and it works well. Tx a lot

The main thing about this page is that everything is just too vague for me! I can barely even understand what I'am about to do next as I install this script into my directory!

What do I do?
Who knows!

The page at zubrag.com that claims to have developed the script left me with xxxtremely inadequate instructions on how to use, install, and modify this script!

I tell ya,
...
I'VE LOST MY MARBLES!!!

Best Regards
~Bob

Wow. Simple. Thanks for the script. Took about 2 minutes to customize and upload to server.

If you're having trouble you either don't have a php enabled server or you need to take a lesson in basic web development.

-Thanks again,
-Christopher

I have searched 4 months 4 a script like this, You guys are great OPEN SOURCE 4 life, i love this script it saves me
from loseing bandwidth and from prying eyes everyday.

damn people, how 'bout reading the damn comments on the file?

why are you bitching that you cannot use the script? did you paid for it?

if your skill is not enough to tamper with basic code, then look for commercial solutions, I bet there are plenty out there.

thanx for the script dudes.

(I'm struggling with the hotlinking part, but I'll get around to it)

Excellent script. Thanks a lot

need tutorial for the code..
someone plz help..

Works great! I had to struggle with the path but it just took me some minutes. Thank you for your generosity

It is just excelent code, working perfect. Nice job, and thanks a lot.

Script works nice. though I made a change for security reasons.
changed :
$fext = strtolower(substr(strrchr($fname,"."),1));

to:
$fexplode = explode(".",$fname);
$fext = $fileexp[count($fileexp)-1];

This in order to prevent the use of . in file name
if a file is named "john.doh.jpg"
the original script puts "doh" as the $fext, what mine does it that it always takes the last argument, putting"jpg" in the $fext variable

Just noticed that I missed the strtolower();
Fix:
$fexplode = explode(".",$fname);
strtolower($fexplode[count($fileexp)-1]);

Great script and thanks!

First of all thanks for your great scripts but don't know why its not working for me. The filesize function is throwing an error:
Warning: filesize() function.filesize]: stat failed

Does anyone have idea why is that??

One question, is there a way we can show download url of our site and it actually should download from some other site. ex :- www.mysite1.com/download.php?f=test.txt should download file from site2.com/test.txt ???

Thank you for the script.

Is there a SIZE limit? It works on small to medium size files but a file that is over 2gb is having trouble finding (file not found by the download script).

Will try to solve but please let me know if you there is some limit that I am unaware of.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Need some help on the error "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."

And I've made a lot of tweaks. Anybody have any fix on this. thanks!

about file not exists, what i did it s to put the downloaded folder in the same dir (example, you put the dl.php in /home/dl/, you have to put the downloaded folder in /home/dl/downloaded/), after in the dl.php, put :
define('BASE_DIR','downloaded/');

there is a way to add a limited download number ????
there is the expire function but i would like to limit the download.
for example, only one person/ip can download 2 times, after that got error
thanks for any help

you can limit download number or time file is available here

http://www.safe007.com

Hi everybody
I used this script befor and it was great. i changed our server and i put the new path because is not the same. it not start by home but by var
define('BASE_DIR','var/www/hghj/html/library/');it appear this message
Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /var/www/hghj/html/download.php

How to open up that php file.
can u please provide some Details

Really thanks for the script ^^

Nice script,working perfectly.
Thank you

Nice script working excellent.
Thank you
Arvind

This script works fine.
For those of you with problem read this:
Hello! I want to ask that is download.php should be in same directory as the files which are to be downloaded with this script.

Because this error is displaying:

File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

my download.php is located in
public_html/download/

& downloads are located in
public_html/download/downloads/

why the error is coming?

zubrag: you can place download.php where you want. Try putting absolute path (i.e. path from the root folder) in the BASE_DIR. In your case following relative path should also work: define('BASE_DIR','downloads/');

This is the kind of problem people are having

Really useful, thanks alot.

Nicely Done! Thanks

i am having error as "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/x4wards/domains/4-wards.com/public_html/user/download.php:2) in /home..."

But i wanna ask how to enable Resume Download

I've added also mod_rewrite rule to complete the cool functionality. You can use this one:

Add to yout .htaccess file and you can access your files viw the: www.yourdomain.com/download/your-file-name.ext

Good Script,
I found exactly what I want

Hello and thank you for a great script. I had it up and working within 20 minutes. Wow. Good job.

Very useful script!! Good Job!

I was looking fot this and hti is really Amazing!

Hey guys.. i accessed the log file and it displays
something like
08.23.2008 7:31pm 96.232.239.239 CUJNBsow1UPAeMz0DHXG.MP308.23.2008 7:35pm 59.182.10.50 UJrfDOiuool1QhxEC1b4.mp3


that would be great if it can make some spaces before starting the Next Mp3 file... Because that will be easy to look into it..

i tired adding few spaces after @fputs($f, date("m.d.Y g:ia")." ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']." ".$fname."\n"); but it never worked... please Help.

Hi
Good script!!!
I would like to ask if this script can allow force downloads? Because I usually have our users download PDF file, I need them to download it directly on their computers. Thanks.

I wanted to build a script to download a PDF file after extracting it from a zip file in order to save disk space. I took the script proposed here as example, and i wrote a code that works well in Firefox, but in IE 7, I get a message saying that the file could not be opened because the file is not of the right type or because it is damaged.
This is the relevant code:

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($zipentryname)."\"" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".zip_entry_filesize($zipentry));
print $buffer;

Any idea? Thanks a lot in advance

Working Great

Thanks alot

Hi
I'm using Win and IIS. The problem is that in binary files some empty characters are replaced by '\0' after being processed by the script. Text files work fine. Please help to make it work with binary files :) Thanks.

Fantastic script thanks! If only just for forcing downloads!

hi there i think it's a great script..now im using...it's works fine..but
while downloading suddenly 50% to 80% it's stoping and showing completed...i don't know why..could anyone plz help me

Awesome, great script.
i have been using this script since i found it. very easy to use it.
i changed the script using id_file and work perfect. thanks

Hi there,
I found that there is an issue with this (and many similar scripts): when using IE 7 or 8 beta2, and clicking cancel in the download box instead of downloading the file, it is not possible to navigate anymore on the site or download again (script seems to hang somewhere). Seems like it's a bug in IE since it works with Chrome and FireFox (Safari works once but will also hang when doing it the seconf time). I spent the last 2 days trying to workaround this, if anyone knows a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anigart

First GRAT downloader THANKs
I have a question:
How I can define more directoryes?
THIS UNDER IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE WE CAN'T DEFINE MORE $Var in define function... but I need somethink like this:

$kind = $_GET['kind'];

// Download folder, i.e. folder where you keep all files for download.
// MUST end with slash (i.e. "/" )
if ($kind=='mp3promo') {
$BASE_DIR=$PATH_mp3Promo;
} elseif ($kind=='mediaifle') {
$BASE_DIR=$PATH_mp3;
} elseif ($kind=='RealAudio') {
$BASE_DIR=$PATH_RealAudio;
}

A great script - thanks very much. Worked first time after only minutes of setting the paths. Thanks for sharing open source.

I have been looking for a script like this for months. This script is great!!
<b>THANK YOU<b>!!

Thanks nice script..

is it possible to redirect to a an url instead of displaying some simple text

// If hotlinking not allowed then make hackers think there are some server problems
if (ALLOWED_REFERRER !== ''
&& (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) || strpos(strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']),strtoupper(ALLOWED_REFERRER)) === false)
) {
die("Not allowed. Please visit http://www.domain.com/error.");
}

Great script, thanks for sharing!

Use fpassthru($file_path)

It's a lot more efficient than using a manual read/write loop.

nice script thanks

If u want to use this script to download chinese or something encode with UTF-8, u can use urlencode() to encode file_name. (for IE download) (FF just use incov() )
By the way, Thanks for sharing!

I want a sample program to download a file in php in clientside using file concepts

I want a sample program how to download a file in php and description of the program

In my PHP application I get data from a mysql table and want to download the results to a .txt or .doc file. Can I use your script?

My SELECT statement: $sql = "Select email from table1";

i put the script on the home dir of my web server hosting

but when i call it http://www.digitalking.it/download.php?f=test.zip

it gives error, why?

in BASE_DIR i have specified:

define('BASE_DIR','/test/');

the file to download is located at
http://www.digitalking.it/test/test.zip

Thanks a lot,
Simone Italy

Now is ok, i corrected it! thanks :-)

But i tried it works with "normal" html links, and not with the forms!

For example i have this form:

form NAME="form1" METHOD="LINK" ACTION="../download.php?f=test.zip"
input type="submit" name="button" value="Click!"
/form

when i click the button it doesnt pass the link download.php?f=test.zip but http://www.digitalking.it/download.php?button=Click%21
so then it doesnt work!

thank you very much your code works gr8...

I love the way it works but i'm having a problem in that when i run a test .exe file on my server, it runs perfectly but when you request the download using the php script and then run it it says that it's too big to put into memory but the file size is exactly the same. Is there something that needs to change besides the files location?

Worked great. Exactly what I needed and saved myself hours trying to adapt something out of a book.

Hi,

If you can mail me any school timetable generator code in php plzzzzzzz


thanks

A lifesaver of a script, THANKS!

Many many thanks.
It is working perfect.
I saved hours

hi, gr8 script! does anyone knows a way to limit downloads per ip? something like 20 allowed downloads per week for a given ip?
thanks

hi
thanx, million of times. u've solved my biggest prob.

This works great and saved me a headache. I know php and perl just enough hurt myself. Thanks a billion!

This does not work correctly with sub directories. It finds the first file with the file name and uses that regardless if you specify the directory path with the file name.

To use with sub directories:

Find [around line 86?]

if (!isset($_GET['f']) || empty($_GET['f'])) {
die("Please specify file name for download.");
}

and add this code BEFORE

//By FoxE : also get directory name
if (!isset($_GET['d']) || empty($_GET['d'])) {
die("Please specify directory name for download.");
}

//By FoxE : Now get directory name.
$dirname = basename($_GET['d']);

Your link should look like this:

Fantastic script! Thanks. Works like a charm. Took me a little bit of time to configure .. but that was after I realized I should actually read the directions! Thanks again.

how to download a file from the server

Kudos to the author! 5 minutes to implement and saved me a load of time!
Thanks!!! :D

How to download it?

Brilliant once again!!!! thank you soooo much!

i need a step by step guide on how to use this script!
fengsky69@gmail.com
many thanks!

Thank you very much. It's really very useful.

Very Nice and fully satisfied

Thanks a bunch for this script. However IE 7 complains about the hotlinking feature. It looks to me like IE7 doesn't set the HTTP_REFERER variable? which would cause line 75 of download.php to fail. In any case, this forces me to have to disable hotlink blocking.

oc thanks

Ok let me give u my situation. I have to design my site such that the members are sent the email of the download link (which must be secured offcourse) then I have to record how many times they have downloaded the File. Previously io will have the ID and Email of the user in the database and I have to increase the number of times they download by 1 each time they download the File. Does that makes sense?

thank you, saved a lot of time.

Wao
Its really a nice,unbeliveable and so much good. From Dhaka

is it possible to download file from another server using your script,
for example if my files on abc.xyz.com and i want to accept download file request only from xyz.com...

what should i do in this case???

Anybody knows how to rename a forced-download from an external source without using readfile() (and not saving the file on the local server)?

Fantastic code. Well done.
Heather

This script is very good.
I tried it and it worked fine.
Thanks and well done.....

This script is just fantastic and working fine for me, Thanks a lot for your efforts

hey nice code.. it really works.. superb :0

its great.thank you very much.

why i can't download files with char & in the filename? Also with + ?

Yeah, thanks , still , I found this quite funny

$FILE_PATH = '';
find_file(base_dir, $fname, $FILE_PATH);

function find_file ($dirname, $fname, &$FILE_PATH) {

.........

if (empty($FILE_PATH) && $file != '.' && $file != '..') {

.........

}

Please specify file name for download.

First, thanks for the script!
Second, I've done a number of file uploads, which I then downloaded using your script. The filesize of the download is two bytes larger than the original and the uploaded file on the server. Only the file downloaded with the script is larger. Using a hex editor, I can see two tabs have been appended to the end of the file (0x09 0x09). Tested files were a zip, an rtf, and a pdf.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks for this useful script. It solves a lot of my critical problems. Hopefully you guys may share more useful scripts to Opensource, Developer community. :)

For resolve this problem, can you make some example what exacly we can to do zubrag?
pleeease

real Example with you download folder and how to change on this Script.

Thanks.

Great Script!

I'm looking for a variation on this that lets users leave their email address and in return, they get to download a file. Anybody got any ideas?

Does this work for IE8? I haven't found any forced downloads via the header commands to work for IE8.

After searching and searching and trying multiple other scripts - SUCCESS!!! Thank you so much for your work! :D

Perfect! I was working on writing my own script when I ran across this page.. You just saved me a ton of testing and troubleshooting. And it worked on the first try. Thanks so much!
