problem with downloading zip files

[abdoh2010]

Hello

After I rebuild my website script again, some problems came out

One of the problems is this one

Code: [Select]

http://www.racing4e.com/img1631.html
Press this button under zip photo and see what happen,

Some visitor say it will gave them the file as download.zip, and this is very critical for the server
Some other say it will view the zip file on the browse!!

Please advice me for this issue

Best regards,

Dear V@no

I am upgrading PHP to 5.0.5 and removing safe mode form the server
I am hopping that it maybe fixes it

For testing purposes in download.php find:

Code: [Select]

function get_file_data($file_path) {Insert below:

Code: [Select]

echo $file_path;
exit;It should show you the path to the file on blank page when you hit download button.
Please post what it show.

[abdoh2010]

why do u use URL again?

Sorry I didn’t understand you

[V@no]

Why do you use "Download URL" if it points to the same file (?) that is added to your 4images?

Dear V@no

i made the following changeing by editing the database and that is the final cut


the file chmod is 0777

the problem is still there on the following link
http://www.racing4e.com/download.php?image_id=1631

Ok, the file is how big?! only 200+MB???
I doubt any servers would allow more then 10mb memory per script, and sure not 200+mb!

I guess, you'll have to stick with direct url as you were doing before and do the following patch to download.php:
find:

Code: [Select]

    if (is_remote_file($image_row['image_download_url']) || is_local_file($image_row['image_download_url'])) {
      ereg("(.+)\.(.+)", basename($image_row['image_download_url']), $regs);
      $file_name = $regs[1];
      $file_extension = $regs[2];

      $file['file_name'] = $file_name.(($size) ? "_".$size : "").".".$file_extension;
      $file['file_path'] = dirname($image_row['image_download_url'])."/".$file['file_name'];
    }
    else {
      $file['file_path'] = $image_row['image_download_url'];
      $remote_url = 1;
    }Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

    $file['file_path'] = $image_row['image_download_url'];
    $remote_url = 1;

i made the changes,

When you are using download URL, there should be NO "zip" download button, yet, its present on your page. I have no clue what else changes you made.

Pressing either of download button returns no responce from your server, the only explanation I have for this is that your server crashes at that moment. You'll need get access to the server error logs.
