...but I'm not redeclaring a function!....

Silly PHP....

 

Actually I'm more it's just silly me, probably something stupid I'm missing here, but what exactly could be wrong with this simple download script?

<?php

function http_get($url) 
{ 

    $url_stuff = parse_url($url); 
    $port = isset($url_stuff['port']) ? $url_stuff['port'] : 80; 

    $fp = fsockopen($url_stuff['host'], $port); 

    $query  = 'GET ' . $url_stuff['path'] . " HTTP/1.0\n"; 
    $query .= 'Host: ' . $url_stuff['host']; 
    $query .= "\n\n"; 

    fwrite($fp, $query); 

    while ($tmp = fread($fp, 1024)) 
    { 
        $buffer .= $tmp; 
    } 

    preg_match('/Content-Length: ([0-9]+)/', $buffer, $parts); 
    return substr($buffer, - $parts[1]); 
}
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/x-rar-compressed");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.rar");


http_get('file url goes here');

?>

 

I guess that should work, but I get

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare http_get()

 

on the line referring to the } that closes the function.

 

I can't see anything wrong with it...maybe you could point it out to me?

http_get

 

You sure are re declaring it. I am sure google would have enlightened you to that function.

Wow premiso's on a roll. He's really knocking these help topics down!

I thought I was calling it.

[marklarah]

Wait....so how do I call this function then with the download?

[Ken2k7]

You can't define http_get because it's already a built-in function. Change the function name.

 

See this:

function http_get($url)

Yeah I just tried that lol

 

Thing i, I found this function on php.net so...I assumed it would be all working and such.

 

EDIT: Right now, the page is just loading, surely it should initiate the download

So you found that function in the user comments somewhere? Well that function you found the creator most likely did not have probably works the same as http_get if you do not have PECL installed. So it worked for him.

 

EDIT:

I do not think it works the same. Either way to use it, change your function name to something like :

 

function my_http_get

and your script should work just fine, given that function does what you want. If not maybe the http_get function does what you want and you do not have to use a user-defined function.

So I just renamed the function, and it finished loading the page, in a time  that might of seemed it could have downloaded the file, but the file in my downloads folder is just Zero kilobytes
