Download a file

[wadie]

I've written the following code:

 

<?php
echo '<img src="Sheph.png" />';


function Wad(){
if (file_exists("Sheph.png")) {
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename("Sheph.png"));
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
    header('Pragma: public');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize("Sheph.png"));
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    readfile("Sheph.png");
    exit;
}
}
Wad();
?>

 

What I want to do is show the image AND show a file download window.

The problem is that it shows the download window but the image doesn't appear. and if I comment the function and keep the echo part only,the image appears normally.

 

What's wrong ?

You cannot output two different things (content types) in the response back to a browser. You can either output a html/text page (the html <img ...> tag) or the force download headers/image data. You cannot output both in one response.

 

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

I want to show an image or anything,and also show the download window.

You would have to send the user to a page which displays the image (or whatever) and then that page will then re-direct them via meta tag or JS to another file which serves the download.

Oh I see..
