Forcing Downloads With A Code
i have a problem with forcing downloads with a code like the following or some similar:
$filename = $fileName;
$size = filesize("$filename");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: $size");
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header ("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile($filename);
i think, normaly the code is ok, but whenever i use something like this on my system (win2k/apache and freeBSD/apache) it works only with rightcklick. using normal leftclick, the downloadbox shows (and even downloads) me only the name of the source page (filemanager.htm) or rather the html-output of the base-script.

Forcing Downloads
Trying to use PHP to download a pdf from server to local machine. Got the following: $bs = Singleton::getInstance('BrowserSniffer'); $file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/pdf/' . $location; $filename = substr(strrchr($file, '/'), 1); if ($bs->name == 'Mozilla') { $content_type = "application/octet-stream "; $attachment = ' attachment; ' } else { $content_type = "application/download "; $attachment = ' ' } header('Content-Type: ' . $content_type); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); header('Content-Disposition: ' . $attachment . ' filename=' . $filename); header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file)); $fn = fopen($file, 'r'); fpassthru($fn); But cannot get the file to download if $location has spaces. Is there any way around this?

Forcing The Download Box
I have a page that generates a text file (but writes the file with the ".csv" extension) and then I redirect the user so he can save the file header("Location: $my_csv_file"); However, the file appears as text in the browser and I would prefer that the gray "Download this file" box pop up. How could I pull this off, or is this really more dependent on client browser settings?

Forcing The User
The user logs in to a certain webpage (username & password). Then the user sees a html page with a link in it. This link is a target="_blank" link, so it would open in a new Internet Explorer window. Normally the user has the possibility to go on that link (without clicking with left mousebutton), pressing the right mouse button, going on copy location, open a new browserwindow by himself (even if it is a totally other browsertype), copy the link location in it, and access the url of the link in this manner. I want to prevent this. He should only be able to open the link by pressing the left mousebutton, otherwise he should have to log in again. Is this possible, if yes - how?

Forcing Download
I have files that people purchase (3D Studio Max files, that get opened by software that they have installed on their computer). I want the following. After they've purchased, they will have access to the files to download. However when they click on the file, it should only allow them to open the file (in the software program that they've installed on their computer - i'm guessing the Operating System will handle this).

Forcing Server Mode
I've been through the docs and I'm more than a little confused: I'd like to run [some] PHP apps as ordinary CGI programs. I though/hoped there'd be a command line switch [that I could put in my shebang line] that'd tell PHP to run in SERVER mode, but I couldn't find it... Is there a way to do that? [meta question: is there a way to get Apache to use mod_php on a shebang'ed PHP program... that'd be best, of course..:o)]

Forcing Queries/php To Refresh Page
let's say I have a page listing records in a table... If I go somewhere else and later on reload this list page, it does NOT refresh the list (if more records were added to the table meantime). What should I do? Is there a way to force a refresh? If I turn off the cache, are people still going to be able to cache the graphics (i don't want to force a reload of every element, just the page itself)?

Forcing A Web Browser To Stay Open
I recently developed stock check system which involves an admin panel that refreshes every thirty seconds to check for new additions to a database. If there is a new addition then a buzzer will sound alerting individuals that action should be taken. This is where the problem lies however, the computer that runs the webpage that refreshes every thirty seconds is a community computer. People keep closing the page by accident thus rendering the system useless since the buzzer will not sound. Is their any way to check and see if Mozilla or internet explorer are open, and on a certain page? Is their any sort of toolbar system that could easily be used to run the page minimized. How hard would it be to make a .exe file to check the database?

Forcing A Line Break In An Email Sent Via Php Form Script
I've successfully created a script which sends an email when the form is filled out. (yay!) But I am not happy with the formatting of the email once I receive it. I have 10 variables passed in the email, and some of them are on a new line, but some are all on the same line. Is there a way to force a line break after each line, so there is only one entry per line? Or perhaps a way to send this as an HTML email so I can put the variables in to table cells? example of what each line looks like: "Last name: ".$_POST['last_name'] . " " .

Secure Downloads
I am currently working on a project with a very secure feel to things (SSL, password only, etc, etc), it's an extranet site. I need to generate PDF files for the clients to download. I have made my own session management system which tracks, by IP address, and changes the Session ID every page, but I need to allow the users to download the PDF files securely. I have a few ideas so far: 1) Generate the PDF files in a directory not accessable by apache, and then enter a row into the MySQL database saying this session/user has a PDF to download. Then a link can be shown to the user, such as /downloads/Report.pdf?SID=<Session ID> (where SID = Session ID). I could make all .pdf files be processed by PHP (therefore act like a PDF in the /downloads/ directory), in the apache config. When the Report.pdf is run it checks the SessionID, then looks in the database for a valid PDF file, and then reads the file straight out to the client. Will this work? Any ideas/suggestions? 2) Justr make the PDF file on the fly, but this will have problems with users who want to be able to save the PDF file. I'd like to go with option1, but I'm not too sure whether this will work. This is not just related to PDF files, it can mean any file type (and I will also need to do a similar things for .zip, and .csv later on) Any suggestions please. I dont want the PDF files saved into a /downloads/ directory on the server, as some1 in theory could take the file, and to make this not the case/harder to do, the filename would have to be very very long... and random gemerated, which is not nice for the client.

Members Only Downloads
Just wondering if anyone knows of a script that will perform (at least most of) the following tasks: 1. Hide the files actual location from the user (possibly not needed as I can store files outside of wwwroot). 2. Manage users who are allowed to download the file(s) 3. Will show all files in the folder for download without needing to set a link to each file manually I can do the first two myself if there are no scripts readily available, however, the third, I'm not sure on.

PDF Downloads Using Readfile()
I'm using a PHP script and mod_rewrite to serve files: The page address is of the form: http://www.example.net/get/<file_id> and the following headers are sent: header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="$filename""); header("Content-Length: $filesize"); header("Content-Type: $filetype"); readfile($file); exit(0); The problem (for one of our clients) is that this always forces a download prompt. I tried adding: header("Cache-Control: public, no-cache"); but it had no effect.

Downloads By Date
I need to store a download date in a MySQL Database when a user makes an order, and check to see if that download date has expired when the user logs in in the future. What would be the best way to do this? timestamp? Is there a PHP function that can anaylze the timestamp (or some sort of date string) and check to see how much time is left? Example: User orders download access for 24 hours - Comes back 5 hours, 20 minutes later - It should tell him that he has 18 hours fourty minutes left. I just need help on the timestamp/php date/math function. I've got the database queries down.

Downloads Manager
I've just recently been learning PHP, and decided my website needed a nice simple downloads page. At first I made a very simple one, with nothing but a page that meta refreshed to the download and logged the number of downloads, and then I added a way to look at all the downloads, and then I added a way to view info for each download. Before I knew it, I had a fully-fledged downloads manager on my hands, with a rating system as well. Currently all the information and logs for the downloads is stored in text files, which I realise is not a great way to do this, but I have no experience yet with SQL databases, and I'm really not sure how I would go about that.

Downloads New Query
I read a few posts and some are incomplete and rather old, but I have at least trawled the forums to find relevant information.I am learning php to work with mysql. I have a few pages working and added secure pages to my database to accept secure logins. However, the purpose of doing so is to provide a few files for download to members only. I am not interested in using mambo or joomla at all. What I can't figure out is, to keep the files secure, do I add them to the database itself, or use a referal to a hidden directory? Right now the files are simply in htdocs, which is a long way from where I want to be! Anyone can access these files. To begin understanding this, I would like to know the correct format before the code. Where should the files be, and what stops a user simply opening that directory in a browser? Can my system link to a directory for the download outside of htdocs?Then what topic am I looking for to research the code?

Not perfect, though; are there are any better approaches?
