Question

I have PHP issue, I’m trying to force a file download using php

if users click on my link http://www.site.com/download.php it redirects them to download.php with the following code inside the download.php file

    header('Content-Type: application/csv');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=custom_report.csv');
    header('Pragma: no-cache');


    echo readfile('files/csv/custom_report.csv');

readfile and fopen however is disabled on the server for security purposes.

Is there any other way I can do this

Answer 1

How about file_get_contents()?
