Downloading mp3's

[jane_prg]

Hello.How are You?

 

  I'm wondering about how to setup an mp3 for downloading from my server using php.

Should I use something like a filesystem object to convert the data to byte data?

I'm at a bit of a loss right now.A tutorial would be helpfull.

                           

                        Thank you

Thanks! I'm fine

Hmm... you don't need to use php to download a mp3. Why do you want to use it?

 

But you can change the Header by header() and change the Content-type to audio/mpeg

Then you can read the file by readfile().

 

You're welcome

Thanks for the reply.

  I ran this code on an apache server on my machine and it downloaded just fine.

    The thing is I got a "page can't be displayed error "when I tried to download from a real webserver.It didn't work at all.I'm wondering,perhaps I don't have permission to download.I don't know what the problem is.Any suggestions?

 

    Any help at all would be appreciated.

 

<?php

header("content-type:application/octet-stream");

header('content-Disposition:attachment;filename="Dark night.mp3"');

readfile('YourSmile.mp3');

?>

<?php
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
echo readfile('YourSmile.mp3');
?>

readfile echos it automatically.

It doesn't echos What it does is addes it to the output Buffer. thats makes it to do something like echo.
