I am trying to find a way to download files in a loop.
The first call to the function is executed (so the first file -file1.exe- is downloaded).
Every next call to the function (file2 and file3) however is not executed.
Anyone knows how to solve it ?
Code:
<?php
downloadfile('../downloads/file1.exe');
downloadfile('../downloads/file2.exe');
downloadfile('../downloads/file3.exe');
function downloadfile($file)
{
// fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue
header("Pragma: hack");
header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
// browser must download file from server instead of cache
// use the Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename and
// force the browser to display the save dialog.
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . basename($file));
// force download dialog
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
/*
The Content-transfer-encoding header should be binary, since the file will be read
directly from the disk and the raw bytes passed to the downloading computer.
The Content-length header is useful to set for downloads. The browser will be able to
show a progress meter as a file downloads. The content-lenght can be determines by
filesize function returns the size of a file.
*/
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file));
flush(); // this doesn't really matter.
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
while (!feof($fp))
{
echo fread($fp, 65536);
flush(); // this is essential for large downloads
}
fclose($fp);
}
?>
