How to serve DOCX files?

[optikalefx]

I've been able to serve files forever now, and finally had a request for docx.  Well, i used the mime type i got from microsofts site

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

and it says corrupt file whenever its served.

 

now, i've tried with many different files to make sure it wasn't just a bad test, its definetly how im serving it.  Are there special headers? or has anyone ever been successful at this?

 

It is actually serving the file correctly but only after 2 pop up errors and warnings.  So the content is there, its just throwing some kind of error.

 

Here is some code.

and before you ask, no there isn't a problem with the decrypt or encrypt method, i've tried with those off as well.  When decrypted, i can double click and open docx just fine, but when i try to server it, i get corrupt errors.

 

function _serveFile($key) {
	ini_set("memory_limit","128M");
	$file = $this->_data[$key];
	if(isset($file) && !empty($file)) {
		$ext = end(explode(".", $file));
		$allowed = array("doc","rtf","txt","pdf","xls","jpg","png","tiff","jpeg");
		//if(in_array($ext,$allowed)) {
		if(1) {
			switch($ext) {
				case "txt":
					$type = "text/plain";
					break;
				case "rtf":
					$type = "application/rtf";
					break;
				case "doc":
					$type = "application/msword";
					break;
				case "docx":
					$type = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document";
					break;	
				case "xls":
					$type = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
					break;
				case "pdf":	
					$type = "appliction/pdf";
					break;
				case "png":	
					$type = "image/png";
					break;	
				case "gif":	
					$type = "image/gif";
					break;	
				case "jpg":
				case "jpeg":	
					$type = "image/jpeg";
					break;	
				case "tiff":	
					$type = "image/tiff";
					break;		
				default:
					$type = "application/octet-stream";
					break;		
			}
			$name = $this->_data['first_name']."_".$this->_data['last_name']."_".$key.".".$ext;
			$tmp = $this->_createDecryptedTmpFile(UPLOAD_DIR.DS."files".DS.$file);


			header("Pragma:public");
			header("Expires:0"); 
			header("Cache-Control:must-revalidate,post-check=0,pre-check=0"); 
			header("Cache-Control:private",false);
			header("Content-Type:application/force-download");
			header("Content-Type:application/download");
			header("Content-Description:File Transfer");
			header("Content-type:".$type);
			header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$name);
			header("Content-Length:".filesize($tmp));


			echo file_get_contents($tmp);
		} else {
			echo "The file type $ext is not allowed";
		}	
	}
}

 

 

thanks!!!

This is what works for me. The problem is the "open" mime type exceeds the 60 character limit.

 

case "docx":
   $type = "application/msword";
   break;

I have a directory that's full of .mp3, .pdf, .docx and other files.  I use this file to fix the type in the header so the correct download options come up.  Works great for all my files, including the .docx

 

Let me know if this helped.

 

<?php
$File_Name=$_GET['file'];
$File_Type = substr($File_Name, -4);

switch ($File_Type)
{
  Case ".mp3":
  $ContentType = "audio/mpeg3";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case ".avi":
  $ContentType = "video/avi";
  $File_Path="Videos/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case (".doc" OR "docx"):
  $ContentType = "application/msword";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case ".gif":
  $ContentType = "image/gif";
  $File_Path="Pictures/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case (".jpg" OR "jpeg"):
  $ContentType = "image/jpeg";
  $File_Path="Pictures/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case ".wav":
  $ContentType = "audio/wav";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case ".m4a":
  $ContentType = "audio/m4a";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case (".mpg" OR "mpeg"):
  $ContentType = "video/mpeg";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case ".rtf":
  $ContentType = "application/rtf";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case ".pdf":
  $ContentType = "application/pdf";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
  Case ".txt":
  $ContentType = "application/txt";
  $File_Path="Music_Library/";
  $File_Location=$File_Path.$File_Name;
  break;
}
@ob_end_clean();
// The following code makes the download non cacheable
header("Cache-control: private");

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");

header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$File_Name);

readfile($File_Location);
