jessnoonyes Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I want to make a "download" button on my website that when pressed will download a file from my server. This is the code that I have: <?php $filename = "Book7_backup4.exe"; header("Content-Length: " . filesize($filename)); header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Book7_backup4'); readfile($filename); ?> But when I test it this is the message that I get: Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: Stat failed for Book7_backup4.exe (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php on line 4 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php:4) in /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php on line 4 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php:4) in /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php on line 5 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php:4) in /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php on line 6 Warning: readfile(Book7_backup4.exe) [function.readfile]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php on line 8 What does that mean? Do you know how I can fix it? Thanks! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54473-download-button/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumio Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Is you application in the same directory as your script? Try header("Content-Length: " . filesize('./'.$filename)); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54473-download-button/#findComment-269441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

per1os Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: Stat failed for Book7_backup4.exe (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php on line 4 Are you sure the file is spelled that way, remember calling files is CaSeSeNSiTiVe. Also check that the file is in deed located at /home/waldronf/public_html/mainenance-business/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54473-download-button/#findComment-269454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessnoonyes Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Now this is the error I get when I type an absolute path: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/' in /home/waldronf/public_html/maintenance-business/download.php on line 5 yeah I made sure I typed the file name in right, with the right capitalization. And that is where it's located. This is driving me nuts Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54473-download-button/#findComment-269455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessnoonyes Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Is there a different php code I could use for the download instead? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54473-download-button/#findComment-269531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
