anolan13 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hello, Once again I need some help with more advanced check boxes. Right now I have it so that files are displayed from a folder and next to them there is a check box, and at the bottom a delete button. If you check the boxes it deletes the selected file. Now what if I need a second button that when checked and clicked downloads the selected file to the users computer? This possible with PHP? I don't know if it is because of security issues maybe? Any help please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Take a look in the FAQ/Code snippet repository forum. There is a thread in there, force download that should get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 would be better to create a zip with the selected files and download that, well thats what i did.. heres my old forceDownload funtion <?php function forceDownload($archiveName) { $headerInfo = ''; if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) { ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); } // Security checks if( $archiveName == "" ) { echo "<html><title>Download </title><body><BR><B>ERROR:</B> The download file was NOT SPECIFIED.</body></html>"; exit; } elseif ( ! file_exists( $archiveName ) ) { echo "<html><title>Download </title><body><BR><B>ERROR:</B> File not found.</body></html>"; exit; } header("Pragma: public"); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Cache-Control: private",false); header("Content-Type: application/zip"); //<--- NOTICE I USED ZIP header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($archiveName).";" ); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($archiveName)); readfile("$archiveName"); exit(); } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
