Then we proceed to set some headers and finally respond with the file to the user using the readFile function in PHP. After the file is downloaded, we update the downloads count for that particular file in the database.

That's about it with file upload and download. You can further customize it to build cool PHP applications. Thanks very much for following. Let me know what you think about this article in the comments section below, if you please. Privacy Policy Terms and conditions About Us.

Thanks for the quick answer I would like to upload individual files and then choose whether I download them all at once or download certain files individually.

Does that work? Hi this is very useful but i have i question how can i lrt it run on a server becouse i want to upload the file from a pc and than download it at a nother pc. It would be nice if someone could help me.

You can simply upload this code to a hosting server. Upload the file from 1 PC. Access the web page from the 2nd PC and download the file. Hello, I have a question, can you program me something that allows me to download all files that I upload at once that would be super nice. Normally, you don't necessarily need to use any server side scripting language like PHP to download images, zip files, pdf documents, exe files, etc.

If such kind of file is stored in a public accessible folder, you can just create a hyperlink pointing to that file, and whenever a user click on the link, browser will automatically downloads that file. Clicking a link that points to a PDF or an Image file will not cause it to download to your hard drive directly. It will only open the file in your browser. Further you can save it to your hard drive. Asked 8 years, 10 months ago. Active 8 years, 10 months ago.

Upload the files to server and then give that path for download.
