To add a download counter, you can use a RewriteRule to route requests through a script to deliver the file and update the counter. You may also be able to use a header(’location:file.tgz’) call as well.
.htaccess
Code:
RewriteEngine On | |
RewriteRule ^(.*\.tgz)$ download.php5?path=$1 [L] |
download.php5
PHP:
<?php | |
// downloading a file | |
$filename = $_GET['path']; | |
if (is_file($filename)) | |
{ | |
// fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue | |
header("Pragma: public"); | |
header("Expires: 0"); | |
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); | |
header("Cache-Control: public"); | |
header("Content-Description: File Transfer"); | |
// browser must download file from server instead of cache | |
| |
// force download dialog | |
header("Content-Type: application/x-tgz"); | |
| |
// use the Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename and | |
// force the browser to display the save dialog. | |
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($filename).";"); | |
| |
/* | |
The Content-transfer-encoding header should be binary, since the file will be read | |
directly from the disk and the raw bytes passed to the downloading computer. | |
The Content-length header is useful to set for downloads. The browser will be able to | |
show a progress meter as a file downloads. The content-lenght can be determines by | |
filesize function returns the size of a file. | |
*/ | |
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary"); | |
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename)); | |
| |
@readfile($filename); | |
$sCountFile=$filename.'.count.txt'; | |
$iCount=file_get_contents($sCountFile); | |
file_put_contents($sCountFile,$iCount+1); | |
} | |
?> |
Display Logic
PHP:
<p><strong><?php include 'tri.tgz.count.txt'; ?></strong> downloads.</p> |
This can be added to a site without changing the download URLs.
Many thanks to the PHP header link above, where the header code came from.
