I'm doing a script that increases the counter for an APK file's download then sends the file to the browser for download.
Here's what I have:
<?php
$file = "android.apk";
function force_download($file){
header("Pragma: public", true);
header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($file));
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
die(file_get_contents($file));
}
force_download($file
The problem is that with a browser like firefox, it downloads but it is like 'android.apk - 0 bytes'. So it essentially, it does not download the file's contents.
What might I be doing wrong? A solution for this?
IMPORTANT: It has to work on mobile.
