hlstriker Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hey I have a page to download a file from a MySQL DB. I am having a problem where I will click the link to download, then it opens the download dialog box to download, and I can download it fine. Then when I click another link on my page, it messes the site up and displays all kinds of weird characters.Here is the code to all of the page...[code]<? mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass"); mysql_select_db("db"); if(isset($_GET['id'])) { $id = $_GET['id']; $query = "SELECT homename, home1score, home2score, homefinalscore, awayname, away1score, away2score, awayfinalscore, scoretype, demoname, demotype, demosize, democontent, date, isademo, map, demodownloadtimes FROM addscore WHERE id = '$id'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed'); list($homename, $home1score, $home2score, $homefinalscore, $awayname, $away1score, $away2score, $awayfinalscore, $scoretype, $demoname, $demotype, $demosize, $democontent, $date, $isademo, $map, $demodownloadtimes) = mysql_fetch_array($result); ?> <table border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='4' align='center' width='100%' bgcolor='#000000'> <tr> <td align='center' colspan='2'><b><? echo $homename; ?></b> verse <b><? echo $awayname; ?></b> on map <? echo $map; ?>.</td> </tr> <tr><td colspan='2'> <table border='0' width='100%'><tr> <td colspan='2' align='left'>This was a <? echo $scoretype; ?></td> <td align='right'><? echo $date; ?></td> </tr></table> </tr> <tr> <td colspan='2' background='<? echo $bgimage; ?>'> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align='center'><b>Round 1 Scores</b></td> <td align='center'><b>Round 2 Scores</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td align='center'><b><? echo $homename; ?></b> - <? echo $home1score; ?></td> <td align='center'><b><? echo $homename; ?></b> - <? echo $home2score; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td align='center'><b><? echo $awayname; ?></b> - <? echo $away1score; ?></td> <td align='center'><b><? echo $awayname; ?></b> - <? echo $away2score; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan='2'> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan='2' align='center'><b>Final Scores</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td align='center'><b><? echo $homename; ?></b> - <b><? echo $homefinalscore; ?></b></td> <td align='center'><b><? echo $awayname; ?></b> - <b><? echo $awayfinalscore; ?></b></td> </tr> <? if($isademo == "Yes") { $showdemosize = ("$demosize KB"); $showdemoname = ("$demoname"); $showdowntimes = ("$demodownloadtimes"); ?> <tr> <td colspan='2'> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan='2' align='center'><b>Demo Information & Download</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td>File Name: <? echo $showdemoname; ?></td> <td rowspan='3' align='center'><a href="?direc=score&page=scoreview&id=<? echo $id; ?>&download=yes">Download Demo</a><br> </tr> <tr> <td>File Size: <? echo $showdemosize; ?></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Download Times: <? echo $showdowntimes; ?></td> </tr> <? if(($_GET['download'] == "yes") && ($_GET['id'] == "$id")) { header("Content-length: $demosize"); header("Content-type: $demotype"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$demoname"); echo $democontent; $querydemo = "SELECT demodownloadtimes FROM addscore WHERE id = '$id'"; $resultdemo = mysql_query($querydemo) or die('Error, query failed'); list($demodownloadtimes) = mysql_fetch_array($resultdemo); $demodownloadtimes += 1; $updatedemo = "UPDATE addscore SET demodownloadtimes='$demodownloadtimes' WHERE id = '$id'"; mysql_query($updatedemo) or die('Error, query failed'); } } else { ?> <tr> <td colspan='2'> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align='center' colspan='2'>There is not a demo to download.</td> </tr> <? } ?> </table> <? } else { include("pages/score/showall.php"); } mysql_close;?>[/code]If anyone can tell me why it is doing this, and/or how to fix it please do!

trq Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 That doesnt help at all. can we see an example? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/17569-why-does-my-code-for-filedownload-mess-up/#findComment-74817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman6003 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm suprised that your download works at all. You need to have the download file page be completely seperate.Take this code:[code]if(($_GET['download'] == "yes") && ($_GET['id'] == "$id")) { header("Content-length: $demosize"); header("Content-type: $demotype"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$demoname"); echo $democontent; $querydemo = "SELECT demodownloadtimes FROM addscore WHERE id = '$id'"; $resultdemo = mysql_query($querydemo) or die('Error, query failed'); list($demodownloadtimes) = mysql_fetch_array($resultdemo); $demodownloadtimes += 1; $updatedemo = "UPDATE addscore SET demodownloadtimes='$demodownloadtimes' WHERE id = '$id'"; mysql_query($updatedemo) or die('Error, query failed'); }[/code]And make it a seperate page that you link to.
