JQuery + Ajax + Javascript. Send Multiple Attachment In Email Using PHP. Neeraj Agarwal. Download script. Steps To Proceed. Thanks, I will use the download script but call it from my Ajax script This is what I am trying to do---I have a grid where users can select multiple files.

I have a force download script that looks exactly like yours but does not work properly – the only thing that works is a plain text file. Pdfs and docs present an error messages. Epson Scanner 010f Driver Windows 7 here.

The files (documents) are stored in mysql as mediumblobs. PHP mysqli query to pull them out.Just to test different issues – I created a simple “email that to me” php script which executes the same query and attaches the doc to the email (using phpmailer) and send it to you as an attachment (base64). You can successfully open up the desired word doc or pdf. However when you try to force download with the same query and the same file (without writing to a temp file) it does not work.

Is this an encoding issue? Googling is how I landed on this page $sql = 'SELECT form_name,form_size,form_type,file_content FROM emp.reference_materials WHERE form_name='$fn'; list($name, $size, $type, $data) = mysqli_fetch_row($result); // (I stripslashes) header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word'); header('Content-length: $size'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name'); header('Content-transfer-encoding: binary'); echo $data; **I’ve tried encoding: binary and base64. @Bec0de: David says: This file alone isn’t secure. Canon Powershot A1200 Troubleshooting. You will want to validate that the file doesn’t provide access to your website code, files you don’t want downloaded, and so on. That code will be specific to your website and needs. @Anonymice you are wrong, headers says to browser many usable things (not to cache,length of file to calculate time elapse, and may other), many browsers can connect mime type of downloaded file with default action for that type (for ex: jpeg ->open with photoshop; pdf ->save to “myEbooks” folder).

If you use force-download them some of headers aren’t necessary, but browser always will ask where to download file (even if you define “default action” for downloaded file type). Generally RTFphpM;) no offence nice job DW, thx sorry for my poor English. I´ve discovered the same strange ajax-problem while using a force-download php script. I´m using sammy.js for navigation and it is broken after a download. I can’t find a solution on this, and I simply don`t understand the above described solutions sorry. But I would be very happy if someone could point me in the right direction.

As a small hint, I’ve found a very simple solution for securing force-downloads: Take a look at this simple string encryption: with a call to the force-download-script like this: $enc_filepath = urlencode(convert($filepath, $key)); and the following decryption in the force-download-script: $filepath = urldecode(convert($_REQUEST['filepath'], $key); no one can simply enter a url to download some of your sourcefiles Greetings, – mo –. @David, Can you please help me out. I am stuck in a strange situation my files are getting downloaded in different formats but they aren’t exporting the image i have used. The scenario is i have an HTML File containing some php variables for displaying report. I call this view file in my MVC based on the Format Type as PDF/Word/TIFF/Excel but the problem is Except for PDF format it is not exporting the image in any other format however other data in the table is getting print. The headers i am using are as follows: EXCEL: header('Content-type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=FILE.xls'); header('Pragma: no-cache'); header('Expires: 0'); WORD: header('Content-Type: application/ms-word'); header('Expires: 0'); header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0'); header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='FILE.doc'); header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary'); PDF: Using Library TIFF: Using Image Magick.

I have created an open source () () which could also help with your situation. It works pretty similarly with an iframe but has some cool features that I have found quite handy: • User never leaves the same page they initiated a file download from.

This feature is becoming crucial for modern web applications • Tested cross browser support (including mobile!) • It supports POST and GET requests in a manner similar to jQuery's AJAX API • successCallback and failCallback functions allow for you to be explicit about what the user sees in either situation • In conjunction with jQuery UI a developer can easily show a modal telling the user that a file download is occurring, disband the modal after the download starts or even inform the user in a friendly manner that an error has occurred. See the Demo for an example of this. Reading the answers - including the accepted one I'd like to point out the security implications of passing a path directly to readfile via GET.
