Hi !
I am currently trying to develop a PHP application in which my server downloads a file and the user can do the same almost simultaneously. I already think about the problem “If the user downloads fastly than the server…”, but it’s not a problem at this moment.
To do so, I used the header and readfile functions of php. Here is my code :
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$data['name'].'";');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Content-Length: '.$data['size']);
readfile($remoteFile);I must to use the Content-length header to set the proper size of the file and not the size that is downloaded when the user clicks on the link. However, after some seconds or minutes, download is stopped and I need to restart…
If you think about a solution, even if it didn’t use the header(); function, please tell me.
Thank you in advance…
