如何在php中从db打开文件

Question

I created a profile page to view members info's one of the information is his/her cv. I Could manage viewing a window that have an open or download options BUT I have two problems:

1- in Chrome open option dose not appear I have download option only.

2- I cant open nor download the cv in both chrome and Firefox, the file name appear with the server name in the open or save window.

Here is my code: PHP:

if(isset($_GET['cv'])) 
 {
   $id = $_GET['cv'];

   $query = "SELECT `fileName`, `fileType`, `fileSize`, `fileContent` FROM `boardteam` WHERE `nationalID` = '$id'";

    $r = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');

    list($fname, $ftype, $fsize, $fcontent) = mysql_fetch_array($r);
    header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fname");
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($fsize));
    ob_clean();
    flush(); 
    readfile($fname);
    exit;
}

HTML:

<a href='browseMember.php?cv=<?php echo $member_id?>'>
<?php 
     $q = "SELECT `fileName`, `fileType`, `fileSize`, `fileContent` FROM `boardteam` WHERE `nationalID` = '$member_id'";

     $r = mysql_query($q) or die('Error, query failed');

     list($fname, $ftype, $fsize, $fcontent) = mysql_fetch_array($r);
     if ($fname)
       {
         echo "click here to open member CV";
       }
?>
</a>

UPDATE:

Lets assume cv file type is docx, If it works I will switch to case doc and pdf and change content type.

Answer 1

It is because of your content type setting. Your browser doesn't know which application to open the document with when it is binary. Try changing the content type with a more descriptive content type that lets the browser select the appropriate application. For example for PDF it would be application/x-pdf . Refer the MIME Media type directory for others.

Answer 2

Are you looking for something like this:

Since, you only want to open it in browser so, it should work for you.

Please replace YOUR_DIRECOTRY_WHERE_FILE_IS_PRESENT_PHYSICALY with your directory name where you document files are physically present.

Your browseMember.php code will be like this:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['cv'])) 
 {
    $id = $_GET['cv'];

    $query = "SELECT `fileName`, `fileType`, `fileSize`, `fileContent` FROM `boardteam` WHERE `nationalID` = '$id'";

    $r = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');

    while ($rowDoc = mysql_fetch_array($r)){ ?>
    <div id="wrapper">
        <div><a href="YOUR_DIRECOTRY_WHERE_FILE_IS_PRESENT_PHYSICALY/<?=$rowDoc['fileName']; ?>" target="_blank" class="text_2" style="text-decoration:none;" ><strong><? echo($row_pdf['fileName']);?></strong></a></div>
    </div>
<?php
echo "<br />";
        }
    }
?>
