Obsfuscate download URL.

OK, I have a directory and file within it I want people to download:

/directory/file.ext

I wanna have this as a file download, and am using the following code, which is a modified version of someone elses. It returns the download I want, but just an empty file.

		$fullPath = '/directory/file.ext';
		$fd = file_get_contents($fullPath);
		$fsize = filesize($fullPath);
		$path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
		//$ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);
		
		header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
		header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\"");
		header("Content-length: $fsize");
		header("Cache-control: private"); //use this to open files directly
		echo $fd;
		exit;

PHP:

Somethings going to be wrong and I'm guessing it's the file_get_contents and echo $fd thing.

Thank you.

 

why not use basename function instead of $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);

 

<?php
  $file = '/directory/file.ext';
  header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
  header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
  header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
  header('Expires: 0');
  header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
  header('Pragma: public');
  header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
  ob_clean();
  flush();
  readfile($file);
  exit;
?>

PHP:

 

Thank you, worked fine
