I have a zillion times. I don't need it urgently, I just thought I could give my visitors the ability to download files from our database which have been uploaded from other users.

Hmm no sorry.
You could always put like 'To Download This Image - Right click on the image and press save as'
-
That's my alternative
Although, I did plan to disable right click to put a stop to multiple uploads (which will eat my bandwith) through right click >> refresh.Last edited by Halting; 01-09-2006 at 10:22 PM.

Perhaps use .htaccess to re-direct to the image file.

cAN YOU force a download?
I thought it only let you upload specific extensions?Sig Removed by -legoman- (Super Moderator) Due to it being offensive.

What do you mean? If you redirected a window to the image it would just display the image rather than download.
zip the images up..
I've already said why I'm not doing that.REMOVED

Put it in a zip, and it'll ask if you want to download it?

Try modifying this. I got it off hotscripts.
PHP Code:<?php
$filename = $_GET['file'];
// required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored
if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression'))
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
// addition by Jorg Weske
$file_extension = strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));
if( $filename == "" )
{
echo "<html><title>Download Script</title><body>ERROR: download file NOT SPECIFIED. USE force-download.php?file=filepath</body></html>";
exit;
} elseif ( ! file_exists( $filename ) )
{
echo "<html><title> Download Script</title><body>ERROR: File not found. USE force-download.php?file=filepath</body></html>";
exit;
};
switch( $file_extension )
{
case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; 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;
default: $ctype="application/force-download";
}
header("Pragma: public"); // required
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
header("Content-Type: $ctype");
// change, added quotes to allow spaces in filenames, by Rajkumar Singh
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
readfile("$filename");
exit();
?>

Save that as process.phpPHP Code:
<?
$file = $_GET['file'];
header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
?>
Then to download the file put..
Code:<a href="process.php?file=picture.jpg">Download JPG image</a>
