optikalefx Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have a file that people are installing from the web. Its a firefox extension. So you hit install and it installs it right to firefox. Is there a way for me to know weather the download started or finished? I need to record weather the user has tried to download or not. Id love for it to tell me they finished the download. What method or technique can I use to find out if the user is downloading the file/ or if the download is completed so i can then record that into my database? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/142582-see-if-a-download-finished/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniflare Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'm pretty sure php cant do this for you, only on uploads. I would look into AJAX and Javascript. You may need a Java Applet to initiate and control the download perhaps? Just my thoughts, maybe someone here knows more .
