Works great! Thanks!

odd that you don't appear to use the script itself to distribute the download on this page...

zubrag: We don't use it on zubrag.com because we are not trying to avoid direct downloads, and for downloads tracking we use Google Analytics. Google Analytics will not track direct downloads, but it is not a big issue.

Nice. In the 7th header line, is the ; after ...filename=$fname;); an error?
I mean the ; inside the end ).

Really,, nice job. Thanx zubrag, I am waiting for your other script.

Too bad thee is no instructions on how to add the downlad links to the page. What I find on this page is quite vague!!!

Thanks for this script. Had used others in the past that produced errors but this one works fine. Danke :)

Awesome script! 1 question though, is it possible to make this script display some html and then give the download? Please help as I have a project due in very soon!

zubrag: why don't show HTML first from your application, and from that HTML give the download link? For example you might have webpage "X" wich lists some products for download, and each product has link to the HTML page "Y" (the HTML page you want added to the downloader), which would contain actual download link. Such solution seems to be more flexible since you would have more control over it. Wouldn't that work?

heh.. just right click -> open in new window and file's URL appears ;>

zubrag: that way you'll only get "download via this downloader" URL. It will not reveal the real file path, thus avoiding direct downloads.

Hello! I want to ask that is download.php should be in same directory as the files which are to be downloaded with this script.

Because this error is displaying:

File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

my download.php is located in
public_html/download/

& downloads are located in
public_html/download/downloads/

why the error is coming?

zubrag: you can place download.php where you want. Try putting absolute path (i.e. path from the root folder) in the BASE_DIR. In your case following relative path should also work: define('BASE_DIR','downloads/');

Great script but doesn't work with Internet Explorer 6+?

zubrag: strange, it works fine with my IE6 and Firefox. Could you provide more details?

i want U to posted it to me

i'm using winXP, it is successful when download a zip file, but after download a pdf file the file seems corrupted, it cannot be opened with acrobat reader, any suggest? thx

zubrag: Cannot reproduce this problem. Can you provide more details? Your browser name, version? Maybe you are trying to download already broken file?

cool

Suppose if i want to add rmvb, rm, mkv, ogm, mp4, files to the allow file types, how should i do it?

zubrag: update allowed_ext array with your new allowed extensions, and its mime type.
For example here we are adding mp4:
// video
'mpeg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mp4' => 'video/mp4',
'mpg' => 'video/mpeg',
...
To determine mime type for some extension just google extension with "mime type". For example mp4 mime type. You can leave mime type empty if you cannot find correct mime type. In this case above block will look like:
// video
'mpeg' => 'video/mpeg',
'mp4' => '',
'mpg' => 'video/mpeg',
...

Hi zubrag,
This is really a great Script. Its full filling all my needs. But I have a few problem. where as my filename has space inbetween it.

For example:
file name.jpg

so when I click the link im getting "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name." Error can you please help me to fix this problem.
Great thanks,
M. Suresh

Hi all
how if want to download from another site >

I'm trying to use your code in moviespot.as.ro/download.htm. It works for 2 small files but not with a 750KB file (first on page). Is there any way to "bypass" the server?

my file is located in another server which don't support php. from my site server which support php but there not enough space. how can i use this script, if i want to give user to download a file from file server without seeing file server url & with web site server url?

is it possible to integrate it to VBulliten

I can't get the log file to work. I have both the folder and log file itself chmodded. I even tried to let it create one on its own and it didn't. Suggestions?

I got the log working. I'm not sure you coded it to look for the downloads.log in the $base_dir. It was trying to find the file in the current directory it was at. I had to point it to the $base_dir where my downloads are kept.

just a thought.

Nice Script! A solution to this isn't vital, but if the file being downloaded has spaces in the filename, the script replaces spaces with underscores. Is there a way to maintain spaces?

how could i do that

1. i have the folder set to /path/to/folder/ but i have sub folders like:

/path/to/folder/1
/path/to/folder/2
etc
where my files are located

2. i want to name the filename diffrent then what it is in the folder, example.

i have filename in there called:
testfile.mp3 but i want to called it when the user saves it as myfile.mp3

so i can get these settings from a DB.

Great script - this is exactly what I needed for the seed of my secured download system. Thanks much for creating it!

Jay

Thanks for the time spent on this code.

something strange is happening. this code is working well with firefox but whilst using IE7 the browser displays the text in the file, those funny characters that appear when trying to open an audio file using notepad; no download is taking place. What could be the problem?

just found out the solution to my problem i highlighted above.

i added:
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");

to the headers.

Thanks for the code once again.

William

Great script! However I too cannot get the logs function to work. Folders are all set to be writeable, but no information is added to the log file itself.

hey zubrag thanks alot for the codes..

Hi,

This is the error I'm encounting at the moment. Any chance of explaining what is happening?

Currently running on a Linux Machine. Trying to download file from IE 6
Warning: opendir() [function.opendir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/Resource/IST07/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/teaching/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/teaching/public_html/Junior/downloaddata.php on line 83

Hi I'm looking for a script like www.driverguide.com, because I have a lot of drivers file to share in my server.

Please let me know if this is possible with Smart File Download

Thanks a Lot

Hi,

The script is very usefull, but for pdf files, you can download only up to 1,9 MB and the download process stops. And it says that the file is corrupted if you try to open it. Interesting problem.

Wow that is awsome. I was looking for some code for that functionality for hours on the internet. I am happy I finaly found a solution :)

Thank you

Hi, I found this script very useful.
I'm wondering if is possible to allow downloads with a download manager, such free download manager, when I start the downloas, it auto stop.
Thanks

hi..i need a script for access log.i ll be a very grateful if u mail with in one week..its badly neccessary for our project!!!

Great product. installed in seconds. worked perfectly 'out of the box'.

greatly appreciated.

The recursion into subdirectories does not quite work. It for example takes the first file by a certain name it finds and uses that. Try having it bring images that have both fullsize and thumbnail versions =)

I bypassed this by using the direct url, but checking that the realpath(url) is within base-url.

hello,
very nice script, and its working VERY nicely.

great job.

in my site .zip files download fine, and .avi files download fine.

but i have .rmvb files. and i've changed the mime type, but now i get wird letters, and they keep loading till my IE crashes.

I just wanted to konw how to allow all files, regardless of the mime type.

thanks

also,
i tried to include download.php in my index.php.



the download.php?f=file.zip works fine
but index.php?page=download&f=file.zip shows internal server error

Thank you very much for sharing your code. Can you (or anyone reading this) help in one area that isn't working? Whenever I create dynamic content (NOT a file) and want to "echo" that out into a filename, it will not work on FireFox using Free Download Manager. FDM picks up the original URL and downloads that instead. IE works just fine.

Any header protocols for FDM?

Perfecto, justo lo que estaba buscando. Muchas, muchas gracias.

"File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."

This is the error I get when I have installed the script. Yes, I have tweaked this with the directory in which I have the files in; not only with the lame path:

define('BASE_DIR','directory/');

BUT ALSO WITH

define('BASE_DIR','/home/user/domain.com/directory/');

AND it is still giving me the error!! Please fix this! ;)

For some reason when I changed the name in my file that I was working with, this script actually worked fine. It has a bug somewhere that needs to be fixed and hopefully you can find it. For now I will mess with it until I decide otherwise.

I am also getting this error:

"File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."

I've tried all manner of variations on the

define('BASE_DIR','');

i think i found something

[fixed]

terima kasihlah atas bimbingannya!!
viva zubraq !!!

WHAT IS THE PATH,HELLISH IT'S NOT WORKING.

it works..
http://www.zubrag.com/downloads/download.zip
btw, this script is veeeewwyyyyyy nicee~~!!
thanks ;)

Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooo.It's Working Well.Thanks To The Script Author.

I am trying to use the script to download more than 1 file and can not. Do you have any suggestions - thanks.

Hi. I recently installed Smart File Download and have come across a few problems maybe you can help with.

This is how I set up the code using my site's name where mydomain.com goes below

define('mydomain.com,'downloads/');

// log downloads? true/false
define('LOG_DOWNLOADS',true);

// log file name
define('downloads','downloads.log');

I chmod it to 766 since it did not work with 644
Is there anything on the lines above you think I should change in order to make the script work?. Thanks for helping

Installation:

1.Edit your absolute path so it look something like this.
define('BASE_DIR','/home/username/public_html/downloads_999/');

Those who get error because you forgot to put "public_html". If you enable log, you need to chmod the folder to 777. Because you need to chmod, you don't want to use your root right? so I create a folder call "downloads" and chmod it to 777.
2. Upload your PHP file to the "downloads" folder.
3. Put all your download to your "downloads_999"
4. your download link should look like this
http://www.domain.com/downloads/download.php?f=TEST.ZIP

all working, nice and easy, thanks!

But...

You can still copy link location (http://www.MYSITE.com/includes/download.php?f=sample.zip )paste into new browser and the file downloads without any issue? Am I missing the point here?

Code of great value here. Bumped into a problem today. set_time_limit is rejected by safe_mode, and if errors are displayed headers won't go, and there you go for file content display in page.

You can remove set_time_limit line, or modify errors settings. Chose first.

Very neat and very usefull script! Excellent work, thanks!

One remark: the logfile only works if you include the full path in the logfile name ;-)

Cheers!

Is there anything special to do with Content-Type for .rar files

how do i make this work with .iso files

Hi, Great Job
Mario Garcia

excellent .. thanks

Hi

Works fine for .pdfs but when i try with a .doc the .doc is corupted when downloaded thru the script, also the .pdf reader asks every user if they want to save changes after they have only viewed the .pdf. Im running apache under FreeBSD. Is there anything i could check?

for MIME Reference:

http://www.w3schools.com/media/media_mimeref.asp

Thanks++ put to use in my website.. just wanted to ask.. does this have any known security issues ?

I am running this script on one server with fine results, but at the same time using on other server file gets corrupted on download. WHY?

Can u please help me.

Thanks in advance

Hi. I read somewhere here that in the define (BASE_DIR) area no URL should be included, but yet I read someone here used his domain name instead and got confused. Could I include my domain name without the http:// or is that meaning the root server for the domain name should be included instead?. Thanks for helping

I am a complete novice and trying to put this feature on my website. I have no idea what a root server is. I am using front pafe to design the website. Can someone tell me step by step what needs to be done.

Works good. Thanks to the script author.

Download Resume supported???

Nice code. I don't need it as it is, but it serves as a good example for what I am doing.

thank you very much for this script, it works really well, and so easy to use

Wow... Really i found awesome. thanks... Guys for creating this solution...

Great Work Guys...

Hi,

This is the error I'm encounting at the moment. Any chance of explaining what is happening?

Currently running on a Linux Machine. Trying to download file from IE 6

Some web hosts prevent you from accessing files outside of your directory_root directory. That is what causes this error.

If you are using byethost.com or swiftphp.com (same company same restrictions) you can not access files outside of directory_root.

thank you thank you sooo much. you helped me alot. :)

God bless

i want to be able to download a random file from a set of files in a folder. could somebody sugest how to do that.

Thanks, really usable and well documented script. I will be sure to check out the other stuff on your site. Thanks again!

I want to be able to download doc file or pdf file could somebody sugest how to do that

Good job! it really works
THANKS

It's great it's work very good...

You = lifesaver. Thank you so much for this script.

Excellent script. Suprised you have been able to achieve this with just one page. There is a similar script at gentlesource. However, it has a complex structure and leaves its url on each file (big nuisance). It is able to count the downloads for each file (advantage) while yours lists each download separately. Good work.

Muito Obrigado, Funcionou Perfeitamente!!!
I Will find for a simple and functional script like this!

The script is not capable for multi threading. I can only download one file at a time.

You should include an updated script to protect filepaths even more. I modified the script so that it picks up the filename from the database, and hence you only supply an ID for the download.
Downloads then look like this: domain.com/download.php?id=30

Excellent php script! Simple and elegant. Worked well from the beginning, and easy to customize and integrate into my site - Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for this excellent script. Easy to integrate, works fine righ away.

Notice on download it only allows one port for download. Any way I can change this?

Please Help Me I want to do download any file on your system while click on giving link

Works perfectly! This was just the example for which I was looking.

Absolutly Fantastic Work (Y)

i hope this work is fully secured

Thanks zubrag.com this is script used for me a lot
thank you very much.........
this will surely help us very much to secure our site
thanks Lot once again...

can any body give php script to send email to inbix

Hi. It took a couple hours but I figured out how to make this script function. And unlike some that will only give bit and pieces for you to puzzle together for your self, I will send a detailed "how to" file along with all the components to whomever wants it. Just email me at turner2f@yahoo.com Cheers! Thanks for making the script!

Hello, Thanks a lot, keep up the good work

I have the script working, but for some reason I can't get it to track .wmv video downloads. When I use it to track a .doc it works fine so i know i got my paths, and permissions set right.

I added:
'wmv' => 'video/x-ms-wmv'

So it lets me download it but it just doesn't track this specific filetype.. Am I doing anything wrong here?

Great script, thanks very much for putting it up. I have one minor question: using IE6 to download a file, say, edu.uni.java_1.0.0.jar, I get "edu[1].uni.java_1.0.0.jar" as the 'save as' filename. Any ideas why, and any fixes known? Many thanks for your great script.

hi zubrag

thankyou thankyou, this script looks good!
thankyou for all your efforts and sharing them with us ...

everything working ...
i have 2 needs
QUESTION
how do i force "save as" dialog.
when in IE, the download immediately is downloaded by my download manager which opens and begins downloading, revealing the download URL.
cannot utilise your wonderful script until i can force"save as"

any clues for me?
thankyou for your time...
alto

Can I use this across two different domain? I need to store media files on a different server? So, can the path be to a different domain?

hye.
i really need to know how to read .txt,.html,.pdf and .doc file using php codes?

Nifty! A very useful script.

The Best script in the Net.
If authors could add temporary functions to it to avoid constant downloading for payed links - it could be the most substantional contribution of PHP in our lifes!

i want to attach a pdf file without using browser control

thanks for the file. I will use it in my new site: http://www.midisharing.cn

I am a novice programmer (at best), when I used this script, and clicked on the link that should have brought up the download, it displayed the code for the download.php page. Can anyone help me configure this better? thanks

Code is superb. But can you give me one example file to do easily. That is very useful for new programmer. Thanks. Great!...Code.

You have a section towards the end to remove bad characters, eg:
" ' \ /

You might want to change this to:
\ / : * ? " < > |

These are valid on many file systems, but they are invalid on Windows:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177506

Thanks for the script!

Great script Zubrag!
Is it easy to add a timeout on the links? Time out after downloaded 3 times from certain IP address. I'd definately pay for this.

Works great ! thanks a lot for the script. Will keep on visiting more this site

Thanks, works great. Appreciate you making this available, you just saved me a few hours...

Thanks.
I am using this www.razibmiah.com

yes timeouts should be a great addition..

would this script be indexed using http://gadelkareem.com/2007/12/10/sitemap-creator-02a-create-sitemaps-09-valid-for-google-yahoo-and-msn-sitemaps/
is it seo wise ?

works great - thanks for the effort

great script. i used it with a form to obtain some data before downloading. awesome!

How can I add the username (an maybe soemother information) to the logfile? Users have to auth with an NIS account to get to the webpage, but I don't know how to grab the username and add it.

You ROCK!

Thanks.

FLM

Muchas gracias!

I added
'tar' => 'application/x-tar',
'tgz' => 'application/x-compressed-tar',
'tar.gz' => 'application/x-compressed-tar',

Having some real trouble getting this to work :( It's back to the "Cannot Find Directory" problem.

When I see this:
define('BASE_DIR','/home/username/public_html/downloads');

Am I to think that everything other than "home" is to be changed to my own particular information?

Just trying to figure this out... I'm a noobie so I'm having some trouble.

My site is www.ceebysite.com and the download.php file resides in www.ceebysite.com/movietestflash/download calling for the file "download.zip" in the same directory.

Here's the total path that comes up when I try to run it:
C:\Sites\Single49\ceeby\webroot\movietestflash\download\download.php

Any advice?

Many thanks in advance...

chris

Works fine. Had to include the rar mime type but other than that, no problems.

Very nice, thank you for this!!

Zubrag, you must have a step by step procedure along with the Php script for us stupid people who are new to php.

Below is what I get when I press the link to download.

Warning: opendir(/downloads/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /" "/download.php on line 95

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /" "/download.php on line 97
File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

this is the full path to the file I want downloaded
http://iced-preview.com/downloads/BookStore_Pricing.psd


This is the link
<a href="http://iced-preview.com/download.php?f=downloads/BookStore_Pricing.psd">Download Price List</a>

This is what I put for the directory
define('BASE_DIR','/downloads/');

I also tried it with the full path and got the same result.

I'm sure there's a simple solution to this but I'm very new to php so I would appreciate any help. thx

HI.

You have to erase the slash in front of download. Then it should look like this:

define('BASE_DIR','downloads/');

and work just nicely.
greetz.

Hey, Is there any way to download file using this script present on other server?

Hi! This is the error i'm getting please help me. I've tried to change define('BASE_DIR',"") but still...

Hi,
When you tried to open files directly from the brower, it will download but give an error when trying to open the document.

Thanks so much. We have had this problem in IE6 for a long time and this resolved this issue.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Its nice and simple script. any one can understand, thanks a lot for giving this.

am facing one in this script - i can download the file from my site into needed folder but i cannot open it, because it just copy the name of the downloaded file only, there is no content in this, thats y i cannot open/play it.

Plz give a solution for my problem to my mail id.

Actually am testing this localhost only
am getting confusion to give path.
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-8\www\project_name\downloads.

now am giving the base_dir - './downloads'.

hey.. it's working fabulous...
thanks a lot for giving this free script..

i want to download php file reader

This script works fine with Mozilla and IE6 but still not working with IE7... The page takes a lot of time to load (as if its processing the request) and then gives an error;

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Any ideas....

I've been using this great script since ver.1.21 and it works well. Tx a lot

The main thing about this page is that everything is just too vague for me! I can barely even understand what I'am about to do next as I install this script into my directory!

What do I do?
Who knows!

The page at zubrag.com that claims to have developed the script left me with xxxtremely inadequate instructions on how to use, install, and modify this script!

I tell ya,
...
I'VE LOST MY MARBLES!!!

Best Regards
~Bob

Wow. Simple. Thanks for the script. Took about 2 minutes to customize and upload to server.

If you're having trouble you either don't have a php enabled server or you need to take a lesson in basic web development.

-Thanks again,
-Christopher

I have searched 4 months 4 a script like this, You guys are great OPEN SOURCE 4 life, i love this script it saves me
from loseing bandwidth and from prying eyes everyday.

damn people, how 'bout reading the damn comments on the file?

why are you bitching that you cannot use the script? did you paid for it?

if your skill is not enough to tamper with basic code, then look for commercial solutions, I bet there are plenty out there.

thanx for the script dudes.

(I'm struggling with the hotlinking part, but I'll get around to it)

Excellent script. Thanks a lot

need tutorial for the code..
someone plz help..

Works great! I had to struggle with the path but it just took me some minutes. Thank you for your generosity

It is just excelent code, working perfect. Nice job, and thanks a lot.

Script works nice. though I made a change for security reasons.
changed :
$fext = strtolower(substr(strrchr($fname,"."),1));

to:
$fexplode = explode(".",$fname);
$fext = $fileexp[count($fileexp)-1];

This in order to prevent the use of . in file name
if a file is named "john.doh.jpg"
the original script puts "doh" as the $fext, what mine does it that it always takes the last argument, putting"jpg" in the $fext variable

Just noticed that I missed the strtolower();
Fix:
$fexplode = explode(".",$fname);
strtolower($fexplode[count($fileexp)-1]);

Great script and thanks!

First of all thanks for your great scripts but don't know why its not working for me. The filesize function is throwing an error:
Warning: filesize() function.filesize]: stat failed

Does anyone have idea why is that??

One question, is there a way we can show download url of our site and it actually should download from some other site. ex :- www.mysite1.com/download.php?f=test.txt should download file from site2.com/test.txt ???

Thank you for the script.

Is there a SIZE limit? It works on small to medium size files but a file that is over 2gb is having trouble finding (file not found by the download script).

Will try to solve but please let me know if you there is some limit that I am unaware of.

Thanks again.

Hi,

Need some help on the error "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."

And I've made a lot of tweaks. Anybody have any fix on this. thanks!

about file not exists, what i did it s to put the downloaded folder in the same dir (example, you put the dl.php in /home/dl/, you have to put the downloaded folder in /home/dl/downloaded/), after in the dl.php, put :
define('BASE_DIR','downloaded/');

there is a way to add a limited download number ????
there is the expire function but i would like to limit the download.
for example, only one person/ip can download 2 times, after that got error
thanks for any help

you can limit download number or time file is available here

http://www.safe007.com

Hi everybody
I used this script befor and it was great. i changed our server and i put the new path because is not the same. it not start by home but by var
define('BASE_DIR','var/www/hghj/html/library/');it appear this message
Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /var/www/hghj/html/download.php

How to open up that php file.
can u please provide some Details

Really thanks for the script ^^

Nice script,working perfectly.
Thank you

Nice script working excellent.
Thank you
Arvind

This script works fine.
For those of you with problem read this:
Hello! I want to ask that is download.php should be in same directory as the files which are to be downloaded with this script.

Because this error is displaying:

File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

my download.php is located in
public_html/download/

& downloads are located in
public_html/download/downloads/

why the error is coming?

zubrag: you can place download.php where you want. Try putting absolute path (i.e. path from the root folder) in the BASE_DIR. In your case following relative path should also work: define('BASE_DIR','downloads/');

This is the kind of problem people are having

Really useful, thanks alot.

Nicely Done! Thanks

i am having error as "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/x4wards/domains/4-wards.com/public_html/user/download.php:2) in /home..."

But i wanna ask how to enable Resume Download

I've added also mod_rewrite rule to complete the cool functionality. You can use this one:

Add to yout .htaccess file and you can access your files viw the: www.yourdomain.com/download/your-file-name.ext

Good Script,
I found exactly what I want

Hello and thank you for a great script. I had it up and working within 20 minutes. Wow. Good job.

Very useful script!! Good Job!

I was looking fot this and hti is really Amazing!

Hey guys.. i accessed the log file and it displays
something like
08.23.2008 7:31pm 96.232.239.239 CUJNBsow1UPAeMz0DHXG.MP308.23.2008 7:35pm 59.182.10.50 UJrfDOiuool1QhxEC1b4.mp3


that would be great if it can make some spaces before starting the Next Mp3 file... Because that will be easy to look into it..

i tired adding few spaces after @fputs($f, date("m.d.Y g:ia")." ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']." ".$fname."\n"); but it never worked... please Help.

Hi
Good script!!!
I would like to ask if this script can allow force downloads? Because I usually have our users download PDF file, I need them to download it directly on their computers. Thanks.

I wanted to build a script to download a PDF file after extracting it from a zip file in order to save disk space. I took the script proposed here as example, and i wrote a code that works well in Firefox, but in IE 7, I get a message saying that the file could not be opened because the file is not of the right type or because it is damaged.
This is the relevant code:

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($zipentryname)."\"" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".zip_entry_filesize($zipentry));
print $buffer;

Any idea? Thanks a lot in advance

Working Great

Thanks alot

Fantastic script thanks! If only just for forcing downloads!

hi there i think it's a great script..now im using...it's works fine..but
while downloading suddenly 50% to 80% it's stoping and showing completed...i don't know why..could anyone plz help me

Awesome, great script.
i have been using this script since i found it. very easy to use it.
i changed the script using id_file and work perfect. thanks

Hi there,
I found that there is an issue with this (and many similar scripts): when using IE 7 or 8 beta2, and clicking cancel in the download box instead of downloading the file, it is not possible to navigate anymore on the site or download again (script seems to hang somewhere). Seems like it's a bug in IE since it works with Chrome and FireFox (Safari works once but will also hang when doing it the seconf time). I spent the last 2 days trying to workaround this, if anyone knows a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anigart

First GRAT downloader THANKs
I have a question:
How I can define more directoryes?
THIS UNDER IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE WE CAN'T DEFINE MORE $Var in define function... but I need somethink like this:

$kind = $_GET['kind'];

// Download folder, i.e. folder where you keep all files for download.
// MUST end with slash (i.e. "/" )
if ($kind=='mp3promo') {
$BASE_DIR=$PATH_mp3Promo;
} elseif ($kind=='mediaifle') {

A great script - thanks very much. Worked first time after only minutes of setting the paths. Thanks for sharing open source.

I have been looking for a script like this for months. This script is great!!
<b>THANK YOU<b>!!

Thanks nice script..

is it possible to redirect to a an url instead of displaying some simple text

// If hotlinking not allowed then make hackers think there are some server problems
if (ALLOWED_REFERRER !== ''
&& (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) || strpos(strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']),strtoupper(ALLOWED_REFERRER)) === false)
) {
die("Not allowed. Please visit http://www.domain.com/error.");
}

Great script, thanks for sharing!

Use fpassthru($file_path)

It's a lot more efficient than using a manual read/write loop.

nice script thanks

I want a sample program to download a file in php in clientside using file concepts

I want a sample program how to download a file in php and description of the program

In my PHP application I get data from a mysql table and want to download the results to a .txt or .doc file. Can I use your script?

My SELECT statement: $sql = "Select email from table1";

i put the script on the home dir of my web server hosting

but when i call it http://www.digitalking.it/download.php?f=test.zip

it gives error, why?

in BASE_DIR i have specified:

define('BASE_DIR','/test/');

the file to download is located at
http://www.digitalking.it/test/test.zip

Thanks a lot,
Simone Italy

Now is ok, i corrected it! thanks :-)

But i tried it works with "normal" html links, and not with the forms!

For example i have this form:

form NAME="form1" METHOD="LINK" ACTION="../download.php?f=test.zip"
input type="submit" name="button" value="Click!"
/form

when i click the button it doesnt pass the link download.php?f=test.zip but http://www.digitalking.it/download.php?button=Click%21
so then it doesnt work!

thank you very much your code works gr8...

I love the way it works but i'm having a problem in that when i run a test .exe file on my server, it runs perfectly but when you request the download using the php script and then run it it says that it's too big to put into memory but the file size is exactly the same. Is there something that needs to change besides the files location?

Worked great. Exactly what I needed and saved myself hours trying to adapt something out of a book.

Hi,

If you can mail me any school timetable generator code in php plzzzzzzz


thanks

A lifesaver of a script, THANKS!

Many many thanks.
It is working perfect.
I saved hours

hi, gr8 script! does anyone knows a way to limit downloads per ip? something like 20 allowed downloads per week for a given ip?
thanks

hi
thanx, million of times. u've solved my biggest prob.

This works great and saved me a headache. I know php and perl just enough hurt myself. Thanks a billion!

This does not work correctly with sub directories. It finds the first file with the file name and uses that regardless if you specify the directory path with the file name.

To use with sub directories:

Find [around line 86?]

if (!isset($_GET['f']) || empty($_GET['f'])) {
die("Please specify file name for download.");
}

and add this code BEFORE

//By FoxE : also get directory name
if (!isset($_GET['d']) || empty($_GET['d'])) {
die("Please specify directory name for download.");
}

//By FoxE : Now get directory name.
$dirname = basename($_GET['d']);

Your link should look like this:

Fantastic script! Thanks. Works like a charm. Took me a little bit of time to configure .. but that was after I realized I should actually read the directions! Thanks again.

how to download a file from the server

Kudos to the author! 5 minutes to implement and saved me a load of time!
Thanks!!! :D

How to download it?

i need a step by step guide on how to use this script!
fengsky69@gmail.com
many thanks!

Thank you very much. It's really very useful.

Very Nice and fully satisfied

Thanks a bunch for this script. However IE 7 complains about the hotlinking feature. It looks to me like IE7 doesn't set the HTTP_REFERER variable? which would cause line 75 of download.php to fail. In any case, this forces me to have to disable hotlink blocking.

oc thanks

Ok let me give u my situation. I have to design my site such that the members are sent the email of the download link (which must be secured offcourse) then I have to record how many times they have downloaded the File. Previously io will have the ID and Email of the user in the database and I have to increase the number of times they download by 1 each time they download the File. Does that makes sense?

thank you, saved a lot of time.

Wao
Its really a nice,unbeliveable and so much good. From Dhaka

is it possible to download file from another server using your script,
for example if my files on abc.xyz.com and i want to accept download file request only from xyz.com...

what should i do in this case???

Anybody knows how to rename a forced-download from an external source without using readfile() (and not saving the file on the local server)?

Fantastic code. Well done.
Heather

This script is very good.
I tried it and it worked fine.
Thanks and well done.....

This script is just fantastic and working fine for me, Thanks a lot for your efforts

hey nice code.. it really works.. superb :0

its great.thank you very much.

why i can't download files with char & in the filename? Also with + ?

Yeah, thanks , still , I found this quite funny

$FILE_PATH = '';
find_file(base_dir, $fname, $FILE_PATH);

function find_file ($dirname, $fname, &$FILE_PATH) {

.........

if (empty($FILE_PATH) && $file != '.' && $file != '..') {

.........

}

Please specify file name for download.

First, thanks for the script!
Second, I've done a number of file uploads, which I then downloaded using your script. The filesize of the download is two bytes larger than the original and the uploaded file on the server. Only the file downloaded with the script is larger. Using a hex editor, I can see two tabs have been appended to the end of the file (0x09 0x09). Tested files were a zip, an rtf, and a pdf.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks for this useful script. It solves a lot of my critical problems. Hopefully you guys may share more useful scripts to Opensource, Developer community. :)

For resolve this problem, can you make some example what exacly we can to do zubrag?
pleeease

real Example with you download folder and how to change on this Script.

Thanks.

pandorabox62@yahoo.co.id

Great Script!

I'm looking for a variation on this that lets users leave their email address and in return, they get to download a file. Anybody got any ideas?

Does this work for IE8? I haven't found any forced downloads via the header commands to work for IE8.

After searching and searching and trying multiple other scripts - SUCCESS!!! Thank you so much for your work! :D

Perfect! I was working on writing my own script when I ran across this page.. You just saved me a ton of testing and troubleshooting. And it worked on the first try. Thanks so much!

Thanks, dude! Your script rocks!

iS it possible for downlaod file in remote server?

my downloaded files in the some other server eg:-www.downlaodfiles.com

my downlaod.php iscript in the www.mydomain.com

iS it possible for downlaod file from remote server ???????

Great script, thanks for posting this!

User, it works fine with IE8.

great...thanku very much.....

there are somone ask and me too.
how to modify this script to works if file downloaded in other website?

Great Script !
Thank you ! =)

it works well.
thank you very much for the script.

thanks ok???????

Nice script! Thank you!!!!

I was searching for this script for 4 hours now. Works 100%, very very easy to install and make it fit with mysql logging or whatever you wish :)
Thank you. Keep it up.

Thanks leaps! It works great!!

How big is the largest file you tried? i tried 800+ mb and the problem seems to bee that the webserver first echoes everything into the website before the download begins

It depends on webserver configuration. Looks like your web server is setup to buffer data before making it available to client

Great script! Easiest to implement ive found.

I've renamed the script to download_happnin.php because my site already has a download.php. This script works beautifully except when I test my site with IE5.5 Mac when IE 'puts up a dialog claiming the filename is 'download_happnin.php' and not the filename I'm downloading. If I do 'Save As...' this name is shown as well but the actual file downloaded is correct and has the right name. Weird. Here's hoping there aren't many IE 5.5 Mac users left out there.

Thanx, Zubrag.

These ungrateful creatures want something for free and then complain about it. Some dare to even grouse instead of making a polite request. Please keep up the good work and much success to you!

Great Script man, helped me too much... However, please specify in your file to change the BASE_DIR constant to the url of the file at server... anyway, thanks a lot...

thank you. my task was done very easily...

Worked immediately, excellent explanations, and even a little bit extra... yet most importantly... it worked. Thank you!

great script

its giving error

thanks. It works

i works nice but anyone can download by giving direct link.i want that file should not download by pasting the link.
what can i do?

I tried to implement ur php scripts in my project, but it doesn't work.So, i have one question for u does ur script work on Zend Framework, coz my project is based on Zend Framework

it works on local server xampp but when i uploaded to my webserver it doesnt work yet it php supported

This is a great little program, thank you - exactly what I was after (something better for a web site than plonking in a href and leaving instructions to 'right click and save link'.

I was terrifically muddled - don't laugh - though when I thought the program was corrupting the files it was copying. I just couldn't work it out. The problem turned out to be my having various files of the same name in nested subdirectories ... and your find_file() deliberately looks in sub-directories for the named file?!?!?! Crazy. But after figuring that out it was all plain sailing, and a great widget to use.

i have some txt files in the folder and i need to add the files in to zip, i need the script for that

its working on server but cut shut to 90 kb always

THANKS VERY NICE SCRIPT

Great script, although I'm having this same problem with zip files arriving corrupt, can anyone shed any light on that situation?

I had used your code but while working on linux server after downloading the file the file has currupt....

awesome...

Thanx for such a beatiful script

How can we Download files like html and php dude? The thing is they open in browser.. And we dont get the save or open dialog box?

set content type to "application/octet-stream" - it will open download dialog

Works fabulously. One tip if you are having problems is to check and correctly set the permissions on the folders and log_file on the server.

Really nice and simple to use...
Works good...

This is a wonderful download script.
Create a folder called "fileDownload" save this script as dl.php then place in the fileDownload folder on your server place anything you want to download in this folder then add this tag on any web page to download any file type.

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/fileDownload/dl.php?filename=YourFiletoDownload.mp3">Your Text</a>

Trying to get this to work correctly on IIS 7 using VS 2008 and asp.net development server. PHP is enabled on IIS. So far the download.php file opens without calling the desired file.

I'm calling the file like this:
<a href="php/download.php?f=PriceList.pdf">Price List</a>
The download.php file resides in the root directory as php/download.php.

Any suggestions as to how to get this working would be helpful!

Nice one!

Its worksssssssss ...
Very niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...

Hi zubrag, I am new to php and I have done all exactly that you mentioned in the site, but the output I get is some asci charcters on the page. I am not sure how to fix - can you help? I need this to help download xls and pdf files from server site.

thank you so much.

my script doesn't work anymore. it fails part way through the download.

i just dropped your script in place of mine and it works!

thanks so much for doing this. :)

is it possible to open the files in another tab or window

Nice Script. Just a note: you need to put the full path starting with the / as the hard drive root for it to work. Nice script! works well at http://theocas.net/

Thanks so much :D

Excellent code! Needs error trapping though. It's really simple. To redirect to a different page when there's an error, use this:
die("<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;url=download_fail.php");

Of course replace my example url (download_fail.php) with your own.

In the zubrag.com code, 4 of the die statements have text in their parentheses: die("Please specify file name for download blah blah blah."). Two of the die statements do not have text in their parentheses: die(). Only use the "meta http-equiv" in place of the die statements that DO have text in their parentheses.

(Sorry, zubrag, I know you said not to alter that code. But it really needed custom error trapping!)

Awesome! Thanks

Oops... i messed up some text above. here is the problem

i still couldnt make it to work. i did like this.
i created a folder on my server called "FileDownload".
in this folder i dropped zubrag's script(download.php), my html page and a sample pdf file.
i changed the path in the script like this...
line:22 define('BASE_DIR','/home/user/downloads/'); as
define('BASE_DIR', '/fileDownload/');

my html:
<a href="download.php?f=test.pdf">download this</a>

i got this error:
Not Found
The requested URL /fileDownload/download.php was not found on this server.

alright! i've resolved my above problem. i was wrong in path specification. thanks again to --zubrag-- and --James Warkentin--

Hi,
Thanks for writing this very useful script.
I am having problems.
This is the file I want to download:
http://www.thebreadcrumbtrail.org/gallery2/g2data/albums/breadcrumb_info/Test.pdf

On my homepage http://www.thebreadcrumbtrail.org I have the "Cool PHP Tutorial" link. But when I click it I get the following:

http://path/to/script/download.php?f=Test.pdf

Any ideas?

I put define('BASE_DIR','/gallery2/g2data/albums/breadcrumb_info/'); in the download.php

Thanks

above solution has resolved my many problems..thanks to the script writer..

It's great!!

thanks!

Maybe I can help, but I'm not sure what you mean; can you explain?

Thank a lot
Can I know possibility of download text file ,.js file and other script files

Thank you

Hmm video files shows up as text in the browser instead of downloading in IE8, but downloading fine with mozilla... guess its a setting somewhere in IE8.

Please note that this script has this problem: http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/8567

Updated to version 1.31 and has a fix for that problem

Thanks for the scrip Zubrag. However, I can't find the downloads.log file anywhere...

I have the following settings in download.php

define('BASE_DIR','download/');

// log downloads? true/false
define('LOG_DOWNLOADS',true);

// log file name
define('LOG_FILE','downloads.log');

The files to be downloaded are in my /public_html/download/
folder
The download.php script is in
/public_html/
folder
and the html file with the reference in it is in
/public_html/

and as follows

<a href="http://www.website.com.au/download/download.php?f=filename.doc">filename</a>

Permissions on all the folders/directories is 777 ie rwx for user/group/others
The file downloads ok, however, I can;t find the log file ??? It looks like I'm the only one having this problem in all this time ... doh

Please help

Cool stuff thank you very much!

No problem with the downloads.log file. It's there.

Thanks for the script Zubrag and keep up the good work!

Any possibility of linking (or modifying) this script with your password-protect.php script? So that we can identify which user is downloading the file rather than the IP address? This would take the script to a new level!
Pardon my php experience if not possible.

Once again, thanks Zubrag!

When i click on the link i get this:


Warning: opendir(/1/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No error in C:\*****\htdocs\dl\download.php on line 98

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in C:\*****\htdocs\dl\download.php on line 100
File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

I ***'d out the folder name because it is personal. But you get the idea, any ideas, i changed the home folder and i put the file into the folder and i changed the link in the page. Any ideas? Lucas

thanks for tutorial , I will create to my web client.
please share another trick.

There is one thing you need to add to this script if you are getting corrupted .Zips or .exe when downloading large files, look for the line:
print(fread($file, 1024*8));
and add an @ to the front of fread like so:
print(@fread($file, 1024*8));
This will supress any errors given by fread() which gets written to the zip file or exe once the function finishes. Without it any error literally get written out in plain text in to the zip / pdf / exe file itself thus corrupting it.

File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

It's work great for single file. But how to download multiple files?

I need a very sftyer

thank for your code.

My search ended today
thanks

Hi there, who has an answer for my problem. I installed the download.php as described and everything works great even the download log. Only, when I either download the zip folder or try to open it before download, it gives me this error reading: The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted. Still, if I open the same zip folder from within ftp is works just fine. I appreciate anyone who has the knowledge with php scripting to help me out with an answer to correct this problem, JohnvK

Thanks a lot, this script just helped me solve a complex problem, bent it to fit my needs, but awesome script.

Hellp me download free music

Thank you ever so much!
I've spent an hour trying to get this to work getting that getdir error.
Finally I realized that I was too stupid not to change the code below the "DO NOT CHANGE BELOW" point.

So for all who're having problems with this directory stuff, on top of the code, where it says:
// Download folder, i.e. folder where you keep all files for download.
// MUST end with slash (i.e. "/" )
define('BASE_DIR','/home/user/downloads/');
JUST PUT THE NAME OF THE FOLDER YOUR FILES TO BE DOWNLOADED ARE. Like this:
// Download folder, i.e. folder where you keep all files for download.
// MUST end with slash (i.e. "/" )
define('BASE_DIR','music/');

And make sure you have such folder on your server and that you have the file named correctly in there.

Works like a charm!

Thank you ever so much. Titanic piece of code!

We've been using this for over a year and works great! Thank you.

Lately, we've been adding a few mime-types to the stack and thought others may find this helpful.

// documents
'pdf' => 'application/pdf',
'doc' => 'application/msword',
'docx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document',
'xls' => 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'xlsx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
'ppt' => 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
'pptx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation',

Perfect! I just put the script to my intranet and it works ! Thanks you.

Hope you'll post that....

I am new to php and having this "Please specify file name for download" issue. How to specify the file name? Please help?

Great script - tested with IE6 and up, Firefox, Safari (yuk) Chrome and Opera - all work great. Only change needed for 1&1 - had to specify the full path of the download folder. Thanks

Great script. Saved me hours of putting one together myself. Thanks so much.

This is a Great Script, The problems as faced by you till now have a Quick resolve

problem 1. set_time_limit(0); If this creates a Problem, just comment it

Problem 2.File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

This is because the $file_path is null, give a value of any of the files in your directory and the script works great

problem 3 : $dir = opendir($dirname);

This is because the BASE_DIR is not defined, if you are getting an error , copy the directory path in full and place it in the define BASE_DIR section , like /var/www/vhosts/sitename/httpdocs/foldername/

and it will work great

I faced a lot of problem at the start, but the outcome is great .. Will be very grateful to the GUY who posted this thread and also the source code.

Hi zubrag,
I have a problem when this script is running in localhost - "Please specify file name for download". Please help me.

Worked great for me ... Thank You!

Hi, Works great for most things. Having trouble with mov. It sees the video/quicktime MIME, but quicktime is still choking on the downloaded file (it is not a file that quicktime understands). File works fine on the server.

Thanks

this is working gr8...

I used the previous version for about a year but it failed on the new ubuntu 10.04 server we have. The failure was that mime types were not being recognised correctly - so i upgraded to the latestt 1.31 version and all is now good :-)

Thanks zubrag

please help

I was having trouble using this code to download zip files, in which the file would unzip with a CPGZ extension. I was able to eliminate this problem by adding ob_clean() and flush() after the headers were set.

// set headers
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");

ob_clean();
flush();

I was wondering, does this script have any problems when user is downloading large files, like 4-5GB. Most scripts I�ve tried so far broke before 2GB.. so I�d really like to know if you�ve tried that.

Many thankx, works great for me .. :)

well done!

To define base directory,
Instead of absolute path and relative path, it is the best to use

define('BASE_DIR',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

Nice Script

How can you define more than one directory for files to be pulled from ?

define('BASE_DIR','C:/www/index/downloads/');
define('BASE_DIR','C:/www/index/media/');
define('BASE_DIR','C:/www/index/images/');

can anyone help me out :D ?

Thanks for the script. Solved my problem in minutes.

Hello, I can't seem to get this to work. I have altered and loaded the .PHP to a file called scripts. My download directory name is downloads. When I click on the link it opens up the script file and not the file for download. What have I done wrong here.
Krisitn

Its a simple and easy script for download file.Thank you very much...

--------------
(Binxalot June 22, 2010)
There is one thing you need to add to this script if you are getting corrupted .Zips or .exe when downloading large files, look for the line:
Line 189:
INCORRECT:
print(fread($file, 1024*8));
OK:
print(@fread($file, 1024*8));
--------------
And, add two lines:
Line 181:
ob_clean();
flush();

Now it works, no corrupt file


Regards.

Itz working fine for me. Thankz a lot for uy easy simple script! :)

thanks

Very nice and useful code

Great script! Can I add more than one domain to ALLOWED_REFERRER? I'd like to enable several domains to access the download.

Can we give resume support along with this script??????

Does this work for m4a files?

ok this is a bit to confusing to read all that gone on Please specify file name for download. that what i get this does not open the directory files or search them to open a download does it?

thANKS FOR YOUR CODE.....

Hi,

Long hours looking for this.

I have to share plenty of files (some more than 100mb) and of course i don't want to link to the real path.

How can i make a download.php valid for multiple links, links that refer to diferent files?

Must all files be in the same directory?

Thank you!

S##t wont work.Keep saying "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name." When I really know the file is there, browser downloads it nicely

Super php, been looking for ages, this does the job. One enhancement that really would be brilliant is the ability to have some sort of multiple file selection, to select a number of files and then hit the download, rather than have to do them individually.

Very handy and nice script. I was i could make a donation when my site is on.

Thanks.

paigestormblade [anti-spam] live.co.uk and other fellows,

"Please specify file name for download" is really confusing and looks like an error message though it is not.

The message indicates that your installation is successful and the script is expecting a file value or parameter to be passed on.

I shall request the programmer to replace this message with something like "Script installation is successful and ready for use."

paigestormblade [anti-spam] live.co.uk and other fellows,

"Please specify file name for download" is really confusing suddenly and looks like an error message though it is not.

The message indicates that your installation is successful and the form variable parameter ('f') is expecting a file name or value to pass on.

I want to download a file in php and show in the database.

I've been looking for this script !!!!!
Thank You so much .... yay !!!

God Bless you for sharing!
Its working- finally!
My problem was the field where is specified the path to the file:
define('BASE_DIR','/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/php_test/'); (here it shows my path.
But after i solved this it's a butter-fly.
Thanks a million!

Can you please assist for download link and email script.

Thanks in advance
AmitZ

AWSOME! Works like a charm.

Is there a file limit on this?
Although I'm downloading small files, I have an .iso 4GB which can't download...
I'm getting

File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

Thanks

i just get this msg when i eter my page: Please specify file name for download.

what do i do?

Excellent!! Click click and implemented!!!

I am using this to download a large (932MB) zip file. The zip will not open when successfully downloaded. Checking the HASH I get two very different sums. Any ideas?

Oh my god. thanks a lot. just what im looking for and this realy works!. I have used it for my wallpaper site. thanks a lot

sir i have mp3 site when one user download any mp3 file other user not browse my site if i install this script my problem solve. please tell me or mail soon.

Nice script. Im using it for my site http://www.recarobyzoela.nl for downloading the specs of the car seats im selling.

to doen load from localhost use your foldes name at "/legs/images/"

$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/legs/images/";
define('BASE_DIR',$path);

This will fix your problems the top Defines will find the directory form which the file downloads.php is being call from..

This fix will fix any directory problems you have with this script.

define('PATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
$parts = explode( DS, PATH_BASE );
define( 'PATH_ROOT', implode( DS, $parts ) );
define( 'PATH_SITE', PATH_ROOT );

// Download folder, i.e. folder where you keep all files for download.
// MUST end with slash (i.e. "/" )
define('BASE_DIR', PATH_SITE.DS.'media'.DS.'downloads'.DS);

With this being the File pat used for others...
sorry for got to Remove mine from it ... but it works well
define('BASE_DIR', PATH_SITE.DS.'Location/of/file');

Works Great..thanks

Am using the script for image downloads, it works fine on my local server but on the production server, once you download the images they don't open. I get an error like "Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x3c 0x62)" how do i fix it?

I knew it's possible!
Thank you

lo he estado buscando desde hace mucho tiempo y est� aqu�. Funciona perfectamente.

�Muchas gracias!

Wow!

Thank you, it's working fine

I had the "file is corrupted or damage" error when I used this script initially. But after a few hours of searching online, I found the solution that might help anyone who has the same problem.

All you need to do is to add "ob_clean();" right before "$file = @fopen($file_path,"rb");" line and voila, everything works!

Hope that helps! ^^

the script works fine and was very sharp,even when i apply it to any of my web page

hye ,,,,,

Very Helpful my MCA Project, Thanks...

hello,
I like your download script, but I can't download with a mobile divice. Why? Please help me :-)

Hello,
The mime type defined with xlsx make firefox (and firefox only) to add "xls" to the filename and a warning message is displayed by excel.
the mime type below solve this issue:

'docx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document',
'xlsx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
'pptx' => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation

great script , i have it set up so the php file points to a .wmv file 189mb file size. everything works up to 28% and stops . after a few min the error reports download was interupted would you like to resume. so i click resume and it doesnt resume it starts all over again finishing off at 28%...?any ideas?

tnx for this script...

this script work well but files in download folder is downloadable with download manager and no limite for anyone and any file ...

and if anyone get download folder pass, can download all files ...

this script does not work on site with https (ssl).
the downloaded file cannot be open (extention or fileformat error)
any solution ?
thanks
kelljery

Great Script. Thanks.

I just noticed that if you have duplicate file names under separate sub-folders, the last one (ascending order) will be downloaded. To fix this issue I added the following to the code:

// Get real file name.
// Remove any path info to avoid hacking by adding relative path, etc.
$fname = basename($_GET['f']);
$dname = str_replace("..","",dirname($_GET['f'])); // Added line, gets the relative folder name with check for hacking

.
.
.

find_file(BASE_DIR.$dname, $fname, $file_path); // Added section: .$dname

Yayyeee,...finally i found great script like this! lol....thank's for sharing this scripts for free :)

thanks.Great script

Link seem to don't work with mobile..

thanks for the script..
great script!

Thanks a lot my dear friend. It works gr8!

Can't believe my luck, been looking for weeks for a script like this, paid for a few and non have worked the way i needed it, then by accident i came across this page, Boy am i lucky, this script is just what i needed, spot on

real php master

I really thank you for this. Your work is just amazing.

Is there a way to include the php like
<?php include('download.php') ?>
and short the url to something like
<a href="?f=test.zip"></a>

Just replace:
// If hotlinking not allowed then make hackers think there are some server problems
if (ALLOWED_REFERRER !== ''
&& (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) || strpos(strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']),strtoupper(ALLOWED_REFERRER)) === false)
) {
header("Location: http://your site url here :xD");
}

that really cool

tnx man

Nice work, it works like a charm, saved me a lot of code writing and its the most efficient compare to the ones I've came accross so far though for msword document ".doc" seemed not to work, it works proper with ".docx"

I have hundreds of files with the same name, but all in different folders. Unfortunately the script ignores the folder info, and grabs the first matching file it can find. I've tried Sina's solution above, but it didn't do the trick, with the modifications the script doesn't download anything.
How can I force the script to download the file from the proper directory?
I use this call: mydomain.com/script directory/dl.php?f=subdirectory1/subdirectory2/filename.

I found this solution is dangerous. If somebody knows your website structure and play with f="../protected_directory/a_file_name_with_passwords.php he can get a file from protected directory, example a file with passwords to connect to db. You need to disinfect variable f before you send it to the script.

I downloaded this a few months ago and only just looked at it and came back to say the same thing as the person above.

THIS SCRIPT IS DANGEROUS IF YOU WANT TO GET HACKED!!!

The script works perfect! And no, ITS NOT DANGEROUS!

just put the download.php in a single folder with no other files, and nobody can get files from a protected directory.

Can this be downloaded to an android phone? I'm trying to download it to my Galaxy 4, but it wont open.

It doesn't work for android downloads or windows phone. Ideally it needs updating to overcome this if anyone can post a solution

sir i ask how i could fix this problem because when i run the program it show this text "Please specify file name for download." .. can you help me? tnx :)

I agree, this script is not dangerous. I've used it on lots of sites now and it works just great. I find the log file particularly useful to check if someone's downloaded a particularly big or sensitive file after I've sent them the link, so I can delete the file. I'm using it on my latest site here ([url=http://www.tsg.ge/]www.tsg.ge[/url]) but I'd like to see an advance version with email sign up (and email address verification). Thanks!

Please someone tell me if this serves to external servers like dropbox

thanks

Hi all,

In the process of building a site to learn.
I am new to php and mysql and hope that some of you better educated in this area than I, can/will help me. (Please)
I have created a download.php and entered the script with 2 edits.

1. I had to remove Set maximum script execution time as host denies it.
--> Removed "set_time_limit(0);" <-- (No Choice - Host will not allow as security risk)
2. I changed file path to my downloads folder - define('BASE_DIR','/public_html/downloads/');

All I see when I open the download.php - "Please specify file name for download."

I have 1 .mp3 file (compressed) as .zip in the downloads folder for testing and need to know how I can show it and others when I want to download them...?????????

Free hosting with ("000webhost.com") to test and learn how to use this as they allow all these scripts.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I extract it and run it, but it does not work :(

It works fine, I literally just added it to my site and tested a download and it works.

Avoids direct files download, hides real file paths??
Can't you find real path by looking at page source code??

Please help. I try to use this script. But I can't get my file. the file I downloaded was open to a webpage format instead of a download file.

<a href="download/new.pdf" target="new">Download</a>

PLEASE HELP. It is showing the code of file like

After wasting my so much time in downloading wav files, finally got this perfect example...
It works !!!

Thanks !!

Hello! I like this download.php, it super...I tried also to run it on android, it starts trying to download but what I see is it's trying to download a <no name> file...it is related maybe to some headers?...

@STAN IT IS DANGEROUS.

download.php?file=../../.htpasswd

and you have just downloaded a lot of passwords

how about:
download.php?file=../../index.php

^ can download any script/fie from server

@ouch , if you set in the file only some type of files then it wouldn't allow to download them...

Muchas gracias !!! funciona perfecto

Sweet. Good Work!!!

Hey great job, I searched all over the net for this exact thing, yours is the only one I found that worked. Many thanks. Works brilliantly!

how to add multiple mime type of same extension?
e.g.
'zip' => 'application/zip',
'zip' => 'application/x-compressed',
'zip' => 'application/x-zip-compressed',
'zip' => 'application/zip',
'zip' => 'multipart/x-zip',
'zip' => 'application/octet-stream',
is it okay ?

Downloader script sets mime type for browser when a file of defined extension is being downloaded. What would you expect it to do with multiple mime types?

The script works well, I don't get any file extension in Firefox or IE when I do download doe. It works fine in Chrome and Safari. Any ideas?

this script is working for pdf file,if i want to use this for mp4 file what kind of changes we need to do this.. please help me.

http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/8567/

Vulnerability is not valid. Per link, it was in 2009 for version 1.3. Current version is 1.31, and I see it contains a fix for this hack already:
if (strpos($_GET['f'], "\0") !== FALSE) die('');

Many thnx for this script. I just had to change a line in the headers:
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
//header("Content-Type: $mtype");

Please let me know how can I monetary retribute you

Does the script also enable download of Excel that has Macro's? I have a website that will sell files. Once the customer makes the purchase I would like to give them access to the download link. Files will include, PDF, Word, Excel and Books in different versions. Is this code something that can be used for this type of dynamic?

Hi zubrag

I downloaded password-protect.php and work fine.

I added this lines header('Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/redirection/path/'); die(); just before the last ?> line to redirect to other page. I need that this page open in other tab or other window. How do i this?

Thank you so much

I have tried entering everything logical into the BASE_DIR setting and nothing works. I always get the "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name." message. I have the script file, a html page with the link, and the target file all in a /download/ folder off the website root.

I need a script to put on my site, to download (for example) the file

http://mysite.com/rebook.epub

Please help, I am not a programmer!

Thanks!

The Script is pretty good, thanks to the developer, I was using HTML, and Jquire download button, and was really experiencing problem with my mp3 files. But now things are much better

Damn son... beautiful script!

Hey, thank you very much for your script, zubrag!
I stuck on testing a download with your script: "The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server."
For sure, I have a call for: download.php?f=TEST.zip (For security reasons I not providing the <a href=""> I use) coded in the script. Why is it looking for an index.php?
Best regards, John

Hey, figured it out myself. You have also to call location, where the script is located with the parameters for the download. Like: http://www.NAME.TOPLEVEL DOMAIN/Path to your script/NAME.php?f=FILENAME.EXT
At domain test: https://www.test.com/testscript/test.php?f=test.epub
It's working just fine, zubrag!

best php script thanks alot

How do we setup hotlinking. I am using sub.domain.com for my domain. What do input in define('ALLOWED_REFERRER', ''); ?
I tried sub.domain.com, but I get internal error.

god bless you
please add resume download support
thank you

First thanks for the code it does work but for some reason it will no longer download files that are in sub-folders of my BASE_DIR. It still downloads correctly any file that is in the root of this folder. Got any suggestions?

You saved my life

Thanks, my firned. You are a genius and very helpful person. You've shared all your best script with us. It's means a lot, my friend.

Wow Great work

After looking over this article I feel as if you are my favourite writer now.
The article is a greatly structured and well-thought one.

It reminded me around https://makeup-reviews.com/eye-shadow/aqua-matic-waterproof-glide-on-eye-shadow-in-s-52/. Looks just
like the author understand the case in point. This piece actually is a fantastic read.
Therefore many fascinating facts I didn't understand before.

Thank you for a fantastic work. Keep it up at the
future!

thanks
