I already have a PHP code in order to force user download a file, the code has worked well
the problem is, when user want to download a file that contains semicolon in its filename
for example the code will be success if the file name XYZ.zip
but it won't be success if the file name aaaX;Y.zip (read as aaax [semicolon] Y [dot] zip) when user download, the filename become aaaX
it's cut in first semicolon
<?php
$a=basename($_GET['fn']);
$sizepath =filesize(base64_decode($_GET['path']));
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$a);
header('Cache-control: private, must-revalidate');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
// load the file to send:
readfile(base64_decode($_GET['path']));
?>
Use urlencode()
, like this:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*=us-ascii'en-us'".urlencode($a));
See RFC 2231 for more information.
