Hello,
I would suggest you to store your uploaded files on your filesystem,
ex : /home/yourappname/uploads/
- Use app/config/core.php or bootstrap.php to write your file storage
path :
Configure::write('Music.uploadPath', '/home/yourappname/uploads/
music/'); or define('MUSIC_UPLOAD_PATH', 'yourpath');
- Then in your controller just add a download method :
class MusicController extends AppController{
function download($song){
if(!isset($song))
$this->redirect('/');
if($this->isAuthenticatedUser()){
$file = MUSIC_UPLOAD_PATH . $song;
$data = file_get_contents($file);
$size = filesize($file);
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE'))
header('Content-Type:
application/force-download');
else
header('Content-Type:
application/get-the-correct-mime-type');
header('Content-Length: '. $size);
header('Content-disposition: attachment;
filename="' . $song ."');
echo $data;
}else{
$this->redirect($this->referer(), 403);
}
} // download
}
Now link to your files with :
$html->link(__('Download this file', true), '/music/download/your-
song');
