I'm downloading mp4,mp3 etc.. files from my server with php. But browsers are not showing the size of file. I searched everywhere but i couldn't find any working answer. Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.
Here is the code :
function force_download($file)
{
$ext = explode(".", $file);
switch($ext[sizeof($ext)-1])
{
case 'jar': $mime = "application/java-archive"; break;
case 'zip': $mime = "application/zip"; break;
case 'jpeg': $mime = "image/jpeg"; break;
case 'jpg': $mime = "image/jpg"; break;
case 'jad': $mime = "text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor"; break;
case "gif": $mime = "image/gif"; break;
case "png": $mime = "image/png"; break;
case "pdf": $mime = "application/pdf"; break;
case "txt": $mime = "text/plain"; break;

case "m4a": $mime = "audio/mp4"; break;
case "m4p": $mime = "audio/mp4"; break;
case "mp4a": $mime = "audio/mp4"; break;
case "mp3": $mime = "audio/mpeg"; break;
case "m3a": $mime = "audio/mpeg"; break;
case "m2a": $mime = "audio/mpeg"; break;
case "mp2a": $mime = "audio/mpeg"; break;
case "mp2": $mime = "audio/mpeg"; break;
case "mpga": $mime = "audio/mpeg"; break;
case "wav": $mime = "audio/wav"; break;
case "m3u": $mime = "audio/x-mpegurl"; break;
case "bmp": $mime = "image/bmp"; break;
case "ico": $mime = "image/x-icon"; break;
case "3gp": $mime = "video/3gpp"; break;
case "3g2": $mime = "video/3gpp2"; break;
case "mp4v": $mime = "video/mp4"; break;

case "midi": $mime = "audio/midi"; break;
case "mid": $mime = "audio/mid"; break;
case "amr": $mime = "audio/amr"; break;
default: $mime = "application/force-download";
}
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
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($file);
}
if (isset($_POST['downl'])){
$file = "http://localhost/project1/downloads/gmf.mp4";
force_download($file);
}
<form method="POST" action=''>
<?php echo'<input type="submit" name="downl" value="Download Baby" >' ; ?>
</form>
If i try to show file size with echo filesize($file) it gives this error :
Warning: filesize(): stat failed for http://localhost/project1/downloads...
