Create A Csv File On-the-fly For Downloading
I have a large database-created table on a page, that needs to have a "download as csv file" link (actually, as xcel, but I'll bet that's much harder to create).
What's the simplest way to do that? Do I actually delete-and-recreate a csv file on the server every time?

I was trying to download a file which I have created in the server. I was successful enough to retrieve it by using the header function but unfortunately, the content has been changed. Instead of the data that I inserted in it, it was changed into a html codes.

Downloading Exe File Does Not Work
I have a link in my page that allows users to download an exe file. However, when I download and run it, it briefly displays the DOS box and nothing happens. In my php file, I have: header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: atachment; filename=$filename"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize("$path/$filename")); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Expires: 0"); $fp=fopen("$path/$filename","r"); print fread($fp,filesize("$path/$filename")); fclose($fp); exit(); Am I missing something? Also, if I click on the download again, after downloading it already, it displays garbled text on the screen.
Downloading Php Code Instead Of File
I have a website where I can upload a file via a form. The uploaded file is stored in a MySQL database. When dloading te file I get a save as... dialog box, letting me save the file. But when it is dloaded and I open it, it contains te HTML code of the file displayed... Wordt thin g is - it _used_ to work so the code is OK - only some little thing changed. Maybe the header part? global $HTTP_GET_VARS, $connection; $nodelist = array(); // Pull file meta-data $SQL = "select * from filemetadata where id = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS[ID]."'"; if (!$result = mysql_query($SQL, $connection)) die("Failure to retrieve file metadata:L ".$php_error); if (mysql_num_rows($result ) != 1) die("Not a valid file id!"); $FileObj = mysql_fetch_array($result); // Pull the list of file inodes $SQL = "SELECT id FROM filedata WHERE Masterid='".$HTTP_GET_VARS[ID]."' ORDER BY id"; if (!$result = mysql_query($SQL, $connection)) die("Failure to retrieve list of file inodes"); while ($CUR = mysql_fetch_object($result)) $nodelist[] = $CUR->id; ob_end_clean(); ob_start(); // Send down the header to the client Header ( "Content-Type: ".$FileObj[Datatype]); Header ( "Content-Length: ".$FileObj[Size]); Header ( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$FileObj[Name]); // Loop thru and stream the nodes 1 by 1 for ($i = 0 ; $i < count($nodelist) ; $i++) { $SQL = "select FileData from filedata where id = '".$nodelist[$i]."'"; if (!$result= mysql_query($SQL, $connection)) die("Failure to retrieve file node data"); $DataObj = mysql_fetch_object($result); echo $DataObj->Filedata; } }
Automatic File Downloading
When a user clicks on a certain link, the file opens when he has a registered program for that file type. For example: if I click on a link to a .doc-file, it opens in Word, if I click on a .gif-file, it opens in my browser. Does anyone know how to download a file automatically, no matter what programs are installed, so that even .html-pages are downloaded in stead of shown? Guess it can be done by sending an alternative header with the file, but don't know how to do it exactly.
Downloading An Uploaded .doc File
I am working on a site in which some members may browse/upload a Word document and other members may wish to download these and view them. I have tried saving the uploaded file like.. if (!copy($cv, "cvs/cv".$cid.".doc") ) { echo("Problems encountered receiving your CV. However your application will still be processed.");} and the download link like... <A HREF='<?="/cvs/cv$cid.doc"?>'><B>View</B></A> ..and the browser opens Word and the file gets displayed. This is taking FAR to long to happen. What would be ideal is to simply click on the link and get the normal download dialog up. I also tried.. if (!copy($cv, "cvs/cv".$cid) ) { ...} and to view.. <A HREF='<?="/cvs/cv$cid"?>'><B>View</B></A> ..but I got a download dialog asking if I wanted to download CVxxx.txt but I need CVxxx.doc. Any ideas? I want to be prompted to download a Word Doc.

Saving/downloading A Dynamic File
Is there a way of making a PHP script go to a URL, like www.somedomain.com/file?id=2, and saving the dynamic file that is created? I want to run this script in crontab, so it downloads the file every hour. I have tried using wget, but that doesn't seem to save the dynamic file created, it just saves the blank HTML page "file?id=2".

Server Not Downloading Complete File
i have a php script that creates a file. this part works fine - it always writes 100% of the data to this file. the next part of this script is letting the user download that file. when i run it on my localhost, everything is fine and 100% of the file is there. however, when i run it on a different server, for some reason when you download the file, it always gets cut off at 2000000 bytes. so the file that gets downloaded can be much smaller than the original file. is there something i need to change in the php.ini file or any other suggestions? this is my download.php code: $file=$path.$_GET['file']; header("Content-type: application/force-download"); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); header("Content-length: ".filesize($file)); header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename ="".basename($file)."""); readfile("$file");
PHP File Downloading Instead Of Showing Results In Browser.
I'm sure all the guru's know this one, but I cannot find it. I just installed Luinx. I configured Apache and got everything up and running. When I do my PHP test, it asks me to download the file, rather than displaying the info on the screen. Now, I added the following lines to the httpd.conf: LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp4.so AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.html.var And I restarted the server........no good. It displays HTML documents, but not PHP documents.
Downloading File Via Curl When Url Not A Direct Link?
I am trying to use CURL to log into a site, download a file, and send the results. So far I have gotten it to log-in and send results (based on sample data), but I cannot get the file to download. For example, the url is in a format similar to the link below When you click it, it redirects somewhere and provides REPORTS.ZIP (note the bolded area of the example link). http://www.example.com/file.php?date=2006/01/18&date2=2006/01/19&file=REPORTS&info=all The problem is that the url is not a direct link and when clicked, it prompts any (standard) browser to download the (zip) file. When I tried using wget, it downloads file.php which does no good. What do I need to do for it to download and write the file to my local directory?
Downloading Multiple Files In Single Zip File
I am developing the project management system. Each Project: 1. Title, description ... , stored in mysql database 2. Upto ten files (initial description), (name in db, file in file system) 3.

Downloading File Stored In Mysql Table Through Ssl
I have a table where I store some binary data. To retrieve this information as a downloadable file, I use the following code: header('Content-Type: $mimeType'); header("Content-length: $size"); // for filename, i store the filename in the table, so this does not actually // point to a physical file name on the file system header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fileName"); header("Content-Description: PHP Generated Data"); echo $data; return true; If I go through a normal port (http), the file downloads no problem. When I try this through ssl (https), I get the following error: 'Internet Explorer cannot download / from 192.168.0.9.' Through port 80, the filename is set correctly. Through ssl, the filename doesn't seem to be getting set. Is there a problem with using 'Content-Disposition: attachment' through ssl?

Hiding Download Location When Downloading File From Server?
I have a requirement where we need to sell online the survey reports which are stored on our server in .pdf formats. Now i have two options once the payment is made i can directly give the client a link to download the file, which would reveal the download location to the client which can be reused by others too. Second option is to copy the file to a temporary dir and then pointing the download link to that dir and lateron deleting the file from the temporary folder. But in this case i would have to setup a cron job to daily remove all the old files from the dir. i am not comfortable with this idea. Is there any other way to do this? Can i be notified by php when the download is completed at the users end so that i can delete the file from temp folder once its done (using the same download script instead of running a cron job later).
Refer To A File Outside The Website Tree For Downloading Purposes

Having Connection Timeout Problem When Calling A Php Script While Downloading A File From The Same Server.
My dot net client downloads files and checks for any new files time to time. The server is apache2.0.53 server. So what happens is that my file download thing works fine if I dont try to call any page from the server while downloading. If I try to call a single page while downloading a file then the page request goes time out and the server then closes the existing download stream and the client doestn't throw any exception. So many a time I end up with incomplete downloaded file. The server side code is in PHP and every thing like calling a page or downloading a file is done by calling some PHP script. What is the reason behind this type of behaviour.Has this anything to do with PHP and server settings.
Downloading Php File Rather Than Indicated Pdf File.
I am trying to download a generated pdf file from the server to the local machine. However, when running the script : header("Content-type: application/pdf"); header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=driverpdf.pdf"); header("Content-Length: " . filesize(FIRSTBASE."/images/graphs/driverpdf.pdf")); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header("Expires: 0"); readfile(FIRSTBASE."/images/graphs/driverpdf.pdf"); return; It downloads 'index.php'. Has anyone seen this and do they possibly know what could be going on? I don't understand why it's doing this, and can't find an explanation.
Can Php Create A New Txt File?
I'm trying to build an e-card page for a client using php, but they don't want to use a mySQL database, so I was wondering if PHP can create new text files when someone enters their information into a form and then the recipient gets an email with that txt file reference in a link and can then go to a page that populates with that particular text. Does it sound like I'm on the right path?

PHP Script To Create MySQL DB From A Dump FIle

Using Fopen() To Create New File - Works For A Few Then Just Doesnt
I am currently working on a content management system where a user can fill in a form (title, keywords, link text etc. - all the initial attibutes), which when submitted, will go onto create a web page. The code is as follows: $html = "<html> <body> <p>Hello World</p> </body> <html>"; $handle = fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path/to/folder/".$filename, "w"); fwrite($handle, $html); fclose($handle); Pretty basic, I think. I works for a few and then it just stops. I get no error to say that 'could not create file' or 'file not found', it just submits. Any reason for this? I have tried searching the C: drive for the file but it cannot be found. At the moment Im trying to figure out when it actually occurs but for some annoying reason, it seems to be working now. I would prefer to be assured that it wont occur again so just thought I would still post something here just encase this problem is a known one. Is fopen() the best solution for creating files? I was aware that it was used to open an existing file but create one (?). Is this what it was intended to do? Im sure it is, but its new to me.
