I have a link which shows the filename to download.When a user clicks it,it needs to get downloaded.The file gets downloaded but it contains only 0 KB.In console it shows
Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/force-download: "../download.php?file=filename"
My code is like this:
<a href="download.php?file=user_uploads/'.$_path['uploads'].
'logo_images/'.$row['FileName'].'" title="Click to download">'.$row['FileName'].'</a>
The download.php is like this:
<?php
$path = str_replace('/download.php?file=','',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($path . $uri[1]) . "\"" );
@readfile($path);
?>
Thanks in advance.I have checked the path of the file also.
try
<a href="yourpath_to_download.php?file=file.txt" title="Click to download">Click</a>
download.php
<?php
$path = 'yourpath'.$_GET['file'];
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$_GET['file'] );
@readfile($path);
?>
file.txt - change with your file name
I had similar issue while downloading my file. I used this code for download.php:
<?php
$path = $_REQUEST['path'];
#setting headers
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Cache-Control: public');
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='. basename($path));
header('Content-Length: '.filesize($path));
ob_clean(); #THIS!
flush();
readfile($path);
exit;
?>
and my link was:
<a href="file.php?path='.$encodedPath.'" name="download" class="acction" ">Download Pack</a>
Hope it helps.
