Serve external document for download

 / Published in: PHP
 

This lets you serve up a file for download without revealing the actual URL of the file. Useful for protected downloads or dynamic content coming from a database. The first header() line isn't always needed. It's just there to help Acrobat on Windows behave properly. If you're not returning PDFs, you can (usually) safely remove it.

  1. function download_document($filename, $path = "", $mimetype = "application/octet-stream")
  2. {
  3. 	header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
  4. 	header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename = $filename");
  5. 	header("Content-Length: " . filesize($pathto . $filename));
  6. 	header("Content-Type: $mimetype");
  7. 	echo file_get_contents($pathto . $filename);
  8. }
