Download.php

[skot]

Hi

 

Instead of regular download links I'd like to start using a force-download script to push files to the users browser. This works ok if the file name requested doesn't contain any spaces, but if it does the browser attempts to download a 0 bytes file called the first word of the original filename..

 

Is there any way around this? I'm trying to avoid manually renaming almost 600 files..

 

foreach ($dirArray as $file) {

    echo "<tr background=\"http://bridgey.net/img/row_bg.gif\">\n";
    echo "<td align=\"left\" background=\"http://bridgey.net/img/row_bg.gif\">";
    echo "<font face=\"verdana\" size=\"2\" color=\"#D9F4FD\"><b> ";
echo "<a href=\"download.php?fileName=". $file['name'] ."\"><img src=\"../img/star.gif\" border=\"0\">";
    echo $file['name'] . "</a></b></font></td>\n";
    echo "<td align=\"center\" background=\"http://bridgey.net/img/row_bg.gif\">{$file['ext']}</td>\n";
    echo "<td align=\"center\" background=\"http://bridgey.net/img/row_bg.gif\">{$file['size']} " . MB ."</td>\n";
    echo "<td align=\"center\" background=\"http://bridgey.net/img/row_bg.gif\">{$file['date']}</td>\n";
    echo "</tr>\n";
}

 

 

Contents of download.php:-

 

<?php

$fileName = $_REQUEST['fileName'];

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); 

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($fileName));

header( "Content-Description: File Transfer");
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($fileName));
@readfile($fileName);

?>

 

Thanks for your time

Could you not strip the spaces in the file name when requesting or are they needed?

[skot]

They're needed as my main script simply shows a table row for every .mp3 or .wma found within the directory. Most of the files do contain spaces.

Ok, when i click on a file (tracey in my room ...) it just loads quicktime and plays the song in the browser, so i cant see any problem , but try replacing any spaces with %20
