Download File

[Dysan]

Hello! The following code, uploads an MP3 file to a folder located in the root directory of the server, whilst adding the files path to a database.

 

For each record in the database, how do I display the path as a link and upon a link being clicked, download the file?

 

if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "audio/mpeg"))
{
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
  {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
  }
  else
  {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
    {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
    }
    else
    {
      $file = ("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      
      mysql_query("INSERT INTO Music (Path)
      VALUES('$file')");    
    }
  }
}
else
{
  echo "Invalid file";
}

The file you link to needs to have a custom header that forces the user to download the file.

 

header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
