error:

 

Notice: Use of undefined constant __DIR__ - assumed '__DIR__' in

 

/homepages/25/d423356896/htdocs/FTPweb/DRUM/MyDwnlods/index.php on line 5

 

I think i am failing to write the correct path (directory) for php to find live path, on the home server I

require_once("downloadme.php");

 

$download_path = DOWNLOAD_ROOT . "Mydownloads/";

$file = $_REQUEST['f'];

 

$args = array(

'download_path' => $download_path,

'file' => $file,

'extension_check' => TRUE,

'referrer_check' => FALSE,

'referrer' => NULL,

);

$download = new rocasa_download( $args );

 

$download_hook = $download->get_download_hook();

//$download->rocasa_print($download_hook);

//exit;

 

if( $download_hook['download'] == TRUE ) {

 

/* You can write your logic before proceeding to download */

Your website is not running PHP 5.3. Can you upgrade it?

I am with 1and1, have no idea what sort of PHP they are running. Do you have an idea of download_path? I am really stuck on this mate

I'll take that as a "no" then.

 

define( "DOWNLOAD_ROOT",    __DIR__ . "/" );

__DIR__ is for PHP 5.3+ only. For

define( "DOWNLOAD_ROOT", dirname(__FILE__) . "/" );

 

You should install PHP 5.2 on your machine at home so there aren't any more of these problems.
