A while ago I wrote an article about the common pitfalls of handling file downloads in PHP. One thing I did not realize at that time is that in most cases developers don't have the time to write such a script and they'll use whatever they can find, even if it has flaws. Because of this, I decided to write a download script and release it free for everyone with a BSD License. It's not a class, just a script that accepts a "file" parameter via GET or POST and outputs the file. For security purposes any paths are stripped and replaced with a path in the script (the folder containing the downloadable file(s) should be protected against direct access).
The post PHP Download Script with Resume option appeared first on Media Division.
