Need "Resume Support" in forced downloding of media file


Recommended Posts

I am using the following PHP code to force the internet browser to download a media file(e.g, .mp3, .wma), But in this code, there is no resume support in downloading these files.

i dont know PHP, i am very much thankful to the person who gave me this code.

Kindly tell me, that what changings are to be needed to enable resume support in downloading. I am using linux webserver.

Thankyou.

 

 

Code: ( php )

 

<?php

 

if((array_key_exists('file', $_GET)) && ($fp = @fopen($_GET['file'], 'rb')) && (pathinfo($_GET['file'], PATHINFO_EXTENSION) != 'php'))

{

    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . basename($_REQUEST['file']) . '";' );

    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');

    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($_GET['file']));

    fpassthru($fp);

}

else

{

?><html>

    <head>

        <title>404 - File not found</title>

    </head>

    <body>

        <div style="font-size:36px;">File not found</div>

        <div style="font-size:12px;">The file you requested ('<?php echo $_GET['file'] ?>') could not be found.</div>

    </body>

</html><?php

}

?>

 

the headers sent to the server request a certain position of the file, do a headers() to find out what the browser asks you and tell us what you see.

 

it should say something like:

 

Resume: 654988 Bytes;

 

haha :) good luck there!

which you won't be able to set unless some how you can get JS to set a cookie/ajax if the download is integrated into the browser some how.  U can say that, the question is what is X in X bytes.  X is undefined and impossible to realistically define without the anticipation of file corruption.
