下载文件的PHP脚本正在下载而不是文件

Question

I'm aplying this link in order to develop an easy script to download an Android .apk file. But instead of download file, is downloading itself.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/22605604

Here is my code:

<?php 
$filename = shell_exec('ls /var/www/html/app/*.apk');
$contenttype = "application/force-download";
header("Content-Type: " . $contenttype);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($filename) . "\";");
readfile($filename);
exit();
?>

Php.info is rendered correctly by Apache.

Thanks.

Your path is not set correctly!

Try to use a real path/filename:

 $filename = "/var/www/html/app/nameofyourfile.apk";

And also your content-type is not set correctly, try:

 Content-type: application/com.android.package-install

If these two errors are corrected, it would probably force to download your apk file.

Anyway, this should work ->

 <?php 

     $filename = "/var/www/html/app/yourfile.apk";
     $contenttype = "application/com.android.package-install";
     header("Content-Type: " . $contenttype);
     header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename); 
     readfile($filename);

 ?>
