In making a band chart/pdf management system, I needed a method for streaming/download files.
PHP makes it pretty easy, but I had to bang around just a bit before I could figure out how to let it try and open stuff in a browser window (vs going to straight to the download folder)
The code ended up a s
if(securityCheck(getLoggedInUser(),$_BAND,false)){
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: '.mime_content_type($file));
#vs application/octet-stream or application/pdf
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.basename($file).'"');
#vs Content-Disposition: attachment
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
} else {
print "NO LUCK $FILENAME";
}
exit;
} else {
print "UNAUTHORIZED";
exit;
}
The bits that were different from the original example I copy and pasted are in bold.
Also, I learned the power of urldecode() :-D
