O__download

Purpose: Downloads the desired file to the end user.

Type: Server-side function

Inputs:

  • $O__path: The path to the file to be downloaded.

Outputs: Once called, the targeted file will be presented to the end user as a download through their browser.

Use Case: O__download must be called through the header. As an alternative to the native download capability within a browser, it can be useful in providing a download without revealing the storage location of a file, which may or may not reside within the server's web root.

Examples:

  • Place this within the header: O__download("/path/to/my/file.txt");
