multiple pdf download using zend framework - zend-framework

Question

i got this code in attaching a pdf file to my site in order for the viewers to download such pdf file..
$fullPath = "../public/pdffiles/FolioPlusUserGuide(v3.0).pdf";
if ($fd = fopen ($fullPath, "r")) {
$fsize = filesize($fullPath);
$path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
$ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\"");
header("Content-length: $fsize");
header("Cache-control: private");
while(!feof($fd)) {
$buffer = fread($fd, 2048);
echo $buffer;
}
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;
html code:
baseUrl().'/DownloadPdf'?>">DOWNLOAD BROCHURE
this code only accommodates 1 file path, I have more pdf files with different filename and different buttons for each to handle the download event. how can i achieve this?..thanks ahead!..=)

Answer 1

You can pass PDF file name via HTTP request, like this:
DownloadPDF.php?filename=test1.pdf
Then in your DownloadPDF file have something like this:
$pdfdir = "/pdffiles/folder/location/here";
$pdffilename = $_GET['filename'];
$fullPath = $pdfdir.$pdffilename;
if ($fd = fopen ($fullPath, "r")) {
$fsize = filesize($fullPath);
$path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath);
$ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\"");
header("Content-length: $fsize");
header("Cache-control: private");
while(!feof($fd)) {
$buffer = fread($fd, 2048);
echo $buffer;
}
}
fclose ($fd);
exit;
Now your code is dynamic and you can download any PDF with links like this:
<a href=downloadpdf.php?filename=something.pdf>Something</a>
<a href=downloadpdf.php?filename=something2.pdf>Something2</a>
etc.
