|
|
I'm trying to find a way to send sound clips via php headers which cannot be played until the file is completely received by the client. But, by default, the audio files are set to stream.
thanks |

Honestly I don't know if this can be done. If a client program automatically starts to play an mp3 it will stream it since that is what mp3's were designed for. If a client doesn't have something setup to do this then the whole file will be downloaded.
The only thing I think you could do would be to change the format to zip |

you can do a force download with php
call this file download.php
Code:
<?
$file = $_GET['file'];
header ("Content-type: octet/stream");
header ("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$file.";");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
?>
then for the download link
Code:
<a href="download.php?file=file.extension">Filename</a>
<a href="download.php?file=melody.mp3">Melody</a>
