@taqman: Hm, what doesn't work with the snippet you posted? To count the downloads you have to use something like:


$this->MyFile->updateAll(array('MyFile.download_counter'=>'MyFile.download_counter+1'), array('MyFile.id'=>40));

Hope this helps!

hi again cakebaker I have apply your download function


 function download($id) {
    Configure::write('debug', 0);
    if($id != null){
    $file = $this->Script->findByid($id);

    header('Content-type: ' . $file['Attachment']['file_content_type']);
    header('Content-length: ' . $file['Attachment']['file_size']); // some people reported problems with this line (see the comments), commenting out this line helped in those cases
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$file['Attachment']['file_name'].'"');
    echo $file['Attachment']['file_object'];
     $this->Session->setFlash('Download Complete');
    exit ();
     $this->redirect(array($this->referer()));
    }else{
     $this->Session->setFlash('File not Found');  
     $this->redirect(array('action'=>'script_index'));
    }
}

I have question how to fix it to work and I need counter download thank

@taqman: As I mentioned in my previous comment, I would first check whether your checkType() method gets called. If it is called, I would then check the content of the $data variable, especially the call of array_shift() looks a bit suspicious to me.

Hope this brings you one step further.

@taqman: Hm, is the checkType() method called? If the method is not called, then the $data array you pass to the save() method probably has the wrong structure. As you can see in the add() method in the article, I have to convert the form data to the structure expected by CakePHP’s save() method.

Hope this helps!

var $validate = array(
            'type' => array(
               
                'checktypeedit' =>array(
                    'rule' => array('checkType',false),
                    'message' => 'Invalid File type',

                )
               
                )
);
    function checkType($data, $required = false){
        $data = array_shift($data);
        if(!$required && $data['error'] == 4){
            return true;
        }
        $allowedMime = array('application/x-bittorrent');
        if(!in_array($data['type'], $allowedMime)){
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

Thanks for the tutorial!

@H-man: I had the whitespace on the start of the output as well. I checked my custom App_Controller.php which had an empty space on it’s end. (after the })
