[SOLVED] problem with download link

[samoht]

Hello all

 

I have a download.php file with this code:

<?php

$Login = $_REQUEST['login'];


switch($_REQUEST['file'])
{
case 'SurgimapSetup.exe' :
$myFile = 'SurgimapSetup.exe';
$filelocation = 'nsis/' . $Login . '/' . $myFile;
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filelocation));
header("Content-type: application/exe");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"" . $myFile . "\";");

break;
default:
break;
}


?>

 

and I provide a simple link as such:

 

<a href = "surgimap_api/download.php?login='.$name.'&file=SurgimapSetup.exe" >

 

for some reason it says that I am downloading "SurgimapSetup.exe" - but the file size is 0??

I know the correct file exists... what am I doing wrong?

 

thanks,

have you tried using an absolute path to the file, ie:

 

home/user/public_html/folder/etc/etc/file.exe

you need to add readfile($filelocation);

 

<?php

$Login = $_REQUEST['login'];

switch($_REQUEST['file'])
{
case 'SurgimapSetup.exe' :
	$myFile = 'SurgimapSetup.exe';
	$filelocation = 'nsis/' . $Login . '/' . $myFile;
	header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filelocation));
	header("Content-type: application/exe");
	header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"" . $myFile . "\";");
	readfile($fileLocation);
	break;
default:
	break;
}
