My file download works great. The file is delivered correctly. But I want to make it prettier.
Is there a way to set a favicon and a window title, if I click on a html-download link to a file in a new tab?
the file is generated and streamed by php.
client part:
<a target="_blank" tabindex="0" href="/path/to/file-download/interface" >
server stream, while $file is some array holding file information:
if (file_exists($file['path'])) {
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
$mime = finfo_file($finfo, $file['path']);
if( strstr($mime, "image") !== false ){
header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
header('Content-Disposition: filename='.basename($file['path']));
} else {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file['path']));
}
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file['path']));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file['path']);
exit;
} else {
error_log("File for download >".$file['path']."< not found.");
return false;
}
UPDATE
An additional problem is, that there is a favicon already in the root folder, but I want to show a different one.

I am creating a zip file download system in php with jquery ajax.
When the user clicks the download button, the request goes to the server and returns the filename.
I am able to download the file but it shows the name of the entire file along with the file path in console. I do not want this.
<button onclick="checkPayment(this.id)" id="filetoDownload_1">Download File</button>
Javascript
function checkPayment(data){
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: '../download.php',
data: data,
async: false,
success: function(result) {
let returnkd = JSON.parse(result);
if(returnkd["status"]){
$("#success").html(`<div class="card"><div class="card-body bg-white text-black">Download will start soon...</div></div>`);
setTimeout(() => {
window.location.href = returnkd["filename"];
}, 2000);
}else{
$("#error").html(`<div class="card"><div class="card-body bg-white">Something wents wrong... contact admin</div></div>`);
}
}
});
}
PHP
// wothout header
if(isset($_POST)){
some code
return array("status"=>true,"filename"=>"../folder/filename.zip");
}
// with header
if(isset($_POST)){
some code here
downloadFile($filename);
return array("status"=>true,"filename"=>"../folder/filename.zip");
}
function downloadFile($filename)
{
$filename = $filename;
$filepath = "../".$filename;
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/octet-stream");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename . '"');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filepath));
ob_end_flush();
#readfile($filepath);
}
how to download file without redirecting window.location.href or showing filepath in console.
i have tried php header but it doesn't work
I am trying to get my php script to download an image which the name of is being sent in from an ajax function in my javascript, and I think I'm using all the right headers and then I'm using readfile() to download the image, and when I preview the php when it runs with the chrome developer tools (ctrl+shift+i-> network -> XHR -> preview) all I get is a bunch of gibberish binary and my image doesn't download. Does anyone know why this is happening/how to fix it?
Here's my ajax which is just in a function that runs when a "download" button is clicked
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'requestAJAX.php',
data: {request: request, download: imageName},
success: function(){
console.log("Request Completed: " + request);
} // success
});
and here's my "requestAJAX.php"
<?php
switch ($_POST["request"]) {
case "download":
// Get parameters
$file = $_POST["download"];
$filepath = "UploadedImages/" . $file;
if(file_exists($filepath)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file.'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filepath));
ob_clean();
flush();
// download
readfile($filepath);
exit;
} // if
break;
default:
echo "No request was made";
}
?>
and this is what I'm getting when I preview (not sure how it will help)

I am trying to download a pdf when clicking on a link.
I called function onlick of a link and in Codeigniter i wrote a function to download PDF file but when running URL ,file is downloaded but when triggered using click of link, its not working.
Controller:
function downloadpdf($pid)
{ set_time_limit(0);
$url="http://www.malayatourism.com/uploads/images/packages/pdf/$pid.pdf";
$file = basename($url);
$fp = fopen($file, 'w');
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
echo "success";
}
My code ajax:
function DownLoadPdf(id)
{
url = "<?php echo base_url();?>admin/packages/downloadpdf/"+id;
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url: url,
data : { pid : id},
success : function(response) {
console.log(response);
},
error : function(response) {
console.log("error");
}
});
}
View:
echo ' Download Attachment';
As far as ajax is concerned you cannot do that via ajax because ajax is not made for this purpose,its an asynchronous call that will give you a result. But you can do this without using any jquery, ajax at all
<a href="http://www.malayatourism.com/uploads/images/packages/pdf/$pid.pdf" download> Download Attachment</a>
Where $pid is the id you want to download the file. The download attribute will force the file to download. Cheers
On my website I have a JavaScript function that using PHP function creates a file locally on my server (same directory as the website files). The name of this file is known only to these JavaScript and PHP functions.
I want to open a regular 'Save As' box to the user to download this file.
Is there a way to do this using Javascript/PHP in a manner that will work for Firefox, Chrome and Explorer/Edge? (Only the Javascript/PHP know the file name)
This is the PHP example:
file_put_contents($filename,$txt);
header('content-type: application/text');
header('content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $filename);
readfile($filename);
In chrome & firefox it saves automatically and in IE a window opens so if a user has not changed their settings by default will they see the where to save dialog regardless of the browser they're using. go to
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95574?hl=en-GB
For more information. You can use php code for downloading the file from your server.
header('content-type: application/[type]');
header('content-disposition: attachment; filename=yourfile.file-extension');
readfile('yourfile.file-extension');
for a large file, you can use
function readfileChunked($filename, $retbytes=true){
$chunksize = 1*(1024*1024);
$buffer = '';
$cnt = 0;
$handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');
if ($handle === false) {
return false;
}
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);
echo $buffer;
ob_flush();
flush();
if ($retbytes) {
$cnt += strlen($buffer);
}
}
$status = fclose($handle);
if ($retbytes && $status) {
return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does.
}
return $status;
}
header('Pragma: public'); // required
header('Expires: 0'); // no cache
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Cache-Control: private',false);
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$name.'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: '. get_remote_size($url) );
header('Connection: close');
readfileChunked( $url );
I have this php file:
<?php
$file = 'ico/people.gif';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($file);
exit;
}
?>
This works.
But the line $file = 'ico/people.gif'; should be removed, and instead the script is to receive the url from another document.
This other document has this JavaScript in header:
<script>
function save_file(url){
document.location.href = "save.php?image="+url;
}
</script>
And this button in body:
<input type="button" onclick="save_file('ico/people.gif')" value="Save image">
How can I make this work together?
people.gif is just an example. It should, when I get it to work, be replaced by a string, that can represent any image.
Basically, all I want is a save image button.
$file = $_GET['image'];
instead of your first line should do it.
