Digital File Pro - Not Working

Here's my PHP code;

<?php require_once("WA_DigitalFilePro/HelperPHP.php"); ?>
<?php
WA_DFP_SetupDownloadStatusStruct("WA_DownloadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["download"])){
WA_DFP_DownloadFile("WA_DownloadResult1", ".secure/MasterSW/RMPs/", "Test.pdf", "[FileName]", false, false, false, "", "", "", "");
}
?>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input type="submit" name="download" id="download" value="Download" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

And yes, the file is present on the server.

When I press the button, nothing happens ?

Any and all help gratefully appreciated.

Looks like this may be caused by the "." in front of the folder path that you have specified for where the file is stored that you are downloading. The reason that nothing is happening after submitting the form is that the item being downloaded is not being found at the directory specified.

Try changing ".secure/MasterSW/RMPs/" to "secure/MasterSW/RMPs/" and make sure that the Test.pdf file is stored in that directory.

'.' doesn't change anything

Thanks for the suggestion Jimmy.

It still does not work.

I also created a new folder "Download" on the root, and placed the pdf file in that folder.

I then modified the DFP settings in the PHP to;

<?php require_once("WA_DigitalFilePro/HelperPHP.php"); ?>
<?php
WA_DFP_SetupDownloadStatusStruct("WA_DownloadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["download"])){
WA_DFP_DownloadFile("WA_DownloadResult1", "Download/", "Test.pdf", "[FileName]", false, false, false, "", "", "", "");
}
?>

This also did not work. I did try typing a URL directly to the file, in the browser, and this opened the file OK. So I know the files is there !

If I put this text at the start of the PHP file; <?php echo(realpath('Download/')); ?>

The path is reported as "D:\Hosting\2861511\html\Download\"

Does this affect, in anyway, the path I should enter in the DFP settings above ?

What next ?

Sorted !

Appears that the download will not work when the .PHP file is in the root !

Moved the .PHP file to a sub folder "Download" and ensured the path was set as "../" when pointing to the file to be downloade, worked perfectly !
