download a file with curl

hi guys, how can i download a file (to a computer not to server or ftp ) with curl?

the code doesn't work =/

$url = "http://www.ozindir.com/Okeyv2.1-Kur.exe";
$referer = "http://www.ozindir.com";
$agent= 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Code (markup):

 

Its not a file ? http://www.ozindir.com/git.php?id=18

 

i changed the code, could you check it again? =/

 

Try this:

<?php
    // it could take a while
    set_time_limit(0);

    $file_url = 'http://www.ozindir.com/Okeyv2.1-Kur.exe';
    // this is what you are saving the file as locally
    $file_name = 'MyProgram.exe';

    $referer = 'http://www.ozindir.com';
    $agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0';
    
    $fp = fopen($file_name, 'wb'); 
    $ch = curl_init(); 
            
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file_url); 
                
    curl_exec($ch);

    curl_close($ch); 
    fclose($fp); 
?>

PHP:

 

this code downloads a file to my hosting, i dont want that

 

So where do you want it to do?

 

To his own PC example: desktop

How about using an echo '<iframe src="http://www.ozindir.com/Okeyv2.1-Kur.exe" height="0" width="0">'; thats enough to trigger the download.

 

Hmm... trying to push a .exe onto a clients computer? I'll ignore why you're trying to do this.

First of all - if you want to accomplish this programmatically without browsers, then you will need to use sockets.
The problem arises by the fact that you're using PHP to do this. There is a very slim chance that the client computer is running the PHP runtime (let alone your script),
unless you are the owner of the client box ... you can't make this work.

 

<?php
  $file = 'http://www.ozindir.com/Okeyv2.1-Kur.exe';
  header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
  header('Content-Type: application/exe');
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
  header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
  header('Expires: 0');
  header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
  header('Pragma: public');
  readfile($file);
?>
