Php downloading the script instead of file

Please don't make up headers and send them. Could you update your answer. Be careful when using this code verbatim, though. This code is likely dangerous in another way. Could be used by an attacker to attempt to scan your internal network for exposed PDF files. Not to mention how easy it would be to bypass any "sanity checks" you think you'll be doing to the "file" parameter.

I have added this to an existing form and sometimes the file will intentionally be blank. Nice post.. For more information about file uploading and file handling visi this link..

It's a good post. But can you tell me how to upload and insert in MySQL database if there are 3 files image file,text file,and word file? But can you tell me how to upload and insert into MySQL database at a time , if there are 3 files image file,text file,word file? Hi Sushree : You want to upload multiple files at a time, I have to post a complete tutorial on it soon, till then try googling about multiple file uploading..

How I could upload data categorywise? Hi Sunny : create select box to choose category and load category from table into the select box and set category id as a value in option element of select box then alter upload table and add category id as a new field for uploading file category and then make some change in insert query.

Say I already had a mysql row without an upload, how would I amend my data with the upload? Sir i have gone through your codes its really amazing and helpful.

So now i want to upload multiple images at once to database and upload folder and also multiple delete at once to delete them using OOP. So i want help from you Thanks for this tutorial.

I would like to add two more components to this. I'm getting errors when uploading files when I want to use the date when files are uploaded. What am I missing? Hi Pradeep, Thanks for the awesome tutorial and scripts! Just a quick question, how can I filter the upload files that are coming in?

I want users to upload. Great script Pradeep, but how can you verify that the uploaded files are not malicious virus etc. Hi Pradeep, For some reason the file is not being inserted into the table. I have checked the mysql console and the database and table is there but the table is empty. Hi, Thanks for the script, it is great. Hi Aulia Hi Pradeep, Your code is working perfectly, however I'm trying to restrict files from uploading if they do not have the defined extensions and file size.

I have played about with alert boxes which advise the client that only certain files can be uploaded but when these boxes are closed the script continues to upload and insert the files. I've tried exit and the die but just get a blank page result. If the value is a directory then create an empty directory and call createZip function where pass the directory path.

View Demo. The above-defined function createZip accepts the path of the directory as a parameter. It will read all files and folders from the path and add them to the zip file.

Session cookies are cookies without expiry date and they are meant to be alive and existing for this "session" only. Added in cURL 7. Added in 7. Usernames are allowed by default 0. Available since PHP 7. This may cause IPv4 to be used before IPv6 or vice versa.

The default action is not to send this header. This is a request, not an order; the server may or may not do it. This option is not thread-safe.

The default behavior is to return the page normally, ignoring the code. Set to false to disable EPSV. Available for versions compiled with libcurl 7. Use that instead. Defaults to false as of libcurl 7. Since GET is the default, this is only necessary if the request method has been changed. The default action would be to stop sending and close the stream or connection.

Suitable for manual NTLM authentication. Most applications do not need this option. Available as of PHP 7. Removed in cURL 7. Request method is then set to HEAD.

Changing this to false does not change it to GET. Note : PHP automatically sets this option to true , this should only be changed for debugging purposes. There is no guarantee this request will be fulfilled, however. Use 0 to wait indefinitely. If libcurl is built to use the standard system name resolver, that portion of the connect will still use full-second resolution for timeouts with a minimum timeout allowed of one second. This option is set to 2 minutes by default.

Defaults to milliseconds. Happy eyeballs attempts to connect to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for dual-stack hosts, preferring IPv6 first for timeout milliseconds. The bitwise or operator can be used to combine more than one method.

If this is done, cURL will poll the server to see what methods it supports and pick the best one. If used, this bitmask limits what protocols libcurl may use in the transfer. This allows you to have a libcurl built to support a wide range of protocols but still limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of them.

By default libcurl will accept all protocols it supports. Note : Your best bet is to not set this and let it use the default.

These two options share the same storage and therefore only one of them can be set per handle. Might require an absolute path. Note that multiple cookies are separated with a semicolon followed by a space e. If the name is an empty string, no cookies are loaded, but cookie handling is still enabled. Available since cURL 7. Do not enter a whole HTTP request line here. Note : Don't do this without making sure the server supports the custom request method first.

Set the name of the network interface that the DNS resolver should bind to. This must be an interface name not an address. Set the local IPv4 address that the resolver should bind to. The argument should contain a single numerical IPv4 address as a string. Set the local IPv6 address that the resolver should bind to. The argument should contain a single numerical IPv6 address as a string. Note : Since this option contains a sensitive password, remember to keep the PHP script it is contained within safe.

An array of hostname, port, and IP address strings, each element separated by a colon. In the format: array "example. The first is the cURL resource, the second is a string with the header data to be written. The header data must be written by this callback. Return the number of bytes written. The first is the cURL resource, the second is a string containing a password prompt, and the third is the maximum password length. Return the string containing the password. The first is the cURL resource, the second is the total number of bytes expected to be downloaded in this transfer, the third is the number of bytes downloaded so far, the fourth is the total number of bytes expected to be uploaded in this transfer, and the fifth is the number of bytes uploaded so far.

Return a non-zero value to abort the transfer. Makes the cURL handle to use the data from the shared handle. Returns true on success or false on failure. Version Description 8. Example 1 Initializing a new cURL session and fetching a web page. Submit a Pull Request Report a Bug. This is turned on by default in multi-threaded SAPIs so timeout options can still be used.

Default bundle installed as of cURL 7. When set to false, the peer certificate verification succeeds regardless. Default value of 20 is set to prevent infinite redirects. Setting to -1 allows inifinite redirects, and 0 refuses all redirects. This allows you to limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of protocols in redirections. This is a difference compared to pre Available as of 7. In production environments the value of this option should be kept at 2 default value.

Support for value 1 removed in cURL 7. When set to 0 the connection succeeds regardless of the names used in the certificate. Use that ability with caution! From curl 7. If set to 0 default keepalive probes are disabled. Not all operating systems support this option.
