Hi folks, I'm trying to force save .mp3 files so this is a test page (found on the net). It works fine when: $directory = ""; // so the audio is in the same local directory but fails when I use a REAL web directory - (the audio file is here - http://mysite.com/test1/audio.mp3 ) $directory = "http://mysite.com/test1/"; says - The file $file was not found. Q: Any ideas how to get it to download from the website? ===== <?php $file = 'audio1.mp3'; $directory = "http://mysite.com/test1/"; //$directory = ""; $path = "$directory$file"; if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); $file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($path,"."),1)); if( $file == "" ) { echo "<html> <head> <title>File not found.</title> </head> <body> File not found. </body> </html>"; exit; } elseif (! file_exists( $path ) ) { echo "<html> <head> <title>The file $file was not found.</title> </head> <body> The file $file was not found.<br /> - path - $path </body> </html>";exit; }; switch( $file_extension ) { case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break; case "zip": $ctype="application/zip"; break; case "doc": $ctype="application/msword"; break; case "xls": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-excel"; break; case "ppt": $ctype="application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"; break; case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break; case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break; case "jpeg": case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break; case "wav": case "mp3": $ctype="application/iTunes"; break; default: $ctype="application/force-download"; } header("Pragma: public"); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Cache-Control: private",false); header("Content-Type: $ctype"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($path)."\";" ); header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); header("Content-Length: ".filesize($path)); readfile("$path"); exit(); ?> Thanks, cool@hosting4days.com
