Please, guide me

Please, guide me anyone

What does adminfrm.php do? What exactly happens, and what should happen? Any errors?

adminfrm.php is a my php page. where all data lies.
1-I uploaded PDF files in Dababase

Database: Columbes are

id(int),edate(VARCHAR),ldate(VARCHAR),cdate(VARCHAR),tenNo(VARCHAR),tdetail(VARCHAR),edate(VARCHAR),filename(VARCHAR),filetype(VARCHAR),filesize(bigint),filedata(longbolb)
2.here is code of adminfrm.php

while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
                echo "<tr>";
                echo "<td>".$i."</td>";
                echo "<td>".$row ['cdetail']. "</td>";
                echo "<td>".$row ['tenNo']. "</td>";
                echo "<td>".$row ['tdetail']. "</td>";
                echo "<td>".$row['ldate']."</td>";
                echo "<td> <a href='download.php'>Download </a></td>";
                echo "<td>".$r."</td>";
}

and here is code of downlod.php

<?php
    include("conn1.php");
    $query="SELECT * FROM ten";
    $result=$conn1->query($query);
       list($id,$name,$type,$size,$data) = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
    header("Content-type: $type/pdf");
    header("Content-length: $size");

    ob_clean();
    flush();
    echo $data;
    //mysqli_close($connection);
    exit;
?>

It does not download PDF in my database.?

If you echo all your variables ($id,$name,$type,$size,$data) what do you see?

I sent you screen short
It does nothing if i put all variables

<?php
    include("conn1.php");
    $query="SELECT * FROM ten";
    $result=$conn1->query($query);
       list($id,$edate,$cdate,$ldate,$tenNo,$tdetail,$filename,$filemime,$filesize,$filedata) = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
    header("Content-type: $type/pdf");
    header("Content-length: $size");
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    echo $data;
    //mysqli_close($connection);
    exit;
?>

:( what to do sir?

No, echo the variables instead of trying to download the file, so you can see if they contain the correct values.

no i tried please, check code

include("conn1.php");
    $query="SELECT * FROM tentb";
    $result=$conn1->query($query);
       list($id,$edate,$cdate,$ldate,$tenNo,$tdetail,$filename,$filemime,$filesize,$filedata) = $result->fetch_assoc();
    echo $id;
    //header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
    //header("Content-type: $type/pdf");
    //header("Content-length: $size");
    //ob_clean();
    //flush();
    echo $filedata;
    //mysqli_close($connection);
    exit;

Undefined offset: 9 in C:\wamp\www\SprintWeb\download.php on line 5

please check

Please show some patience.

On line 11 above, use:

echo $filename;

and then tell me what it says.

ok sir sorry for unpatience
here is code change $filename

<?php
    include("conn1.php");
    $query="SELECT * FROM tentb";
    $result=$conn1->query($query);
    list($id,$edate,$cdate,$ldate,$tenNo,$tdetail,$filename,$filemime,
    $filesize,$filedata) = $result->fetch_assoc();
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=$filename');
    header('Content-type: $filemime/pdf');
    header('Content-length: $filesize');
    ob_clean();
    flush();
    echo $filename;
    //mysqli_close($connection);
    exit;
?>

error is
Notice: Undefined offset: 9 in C:\wamp\www\SprintWeb\download.php on line 5
sir i think

$result->fetch_assoc();

here is problem , data can not be fetched ...

Make sure that your code returns a result from your query first. So, make this work:

<?php
include("conn1.php");
$query="SELECT * FROM tentb";
$result=$conn1->query($query);
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
print_r($row);
?>

yes , it works gaves result .

So, what does it output?

?>

this is download.php file ..

@zebnoon1 Hi, you were asked multiple times, to reply to some questions with useful information. Calmly read again Pritaeas posts and reply to his requests.

For example, he asked:

What size is the downloaded file?

So the downloaded .pdf file is 0 bytes, few bytes and when opens is like corrupted? Have you tried to open the file into your PHP editor? Because it could be a plain-text file (with .pdf extension) and more importantly with a PHP error generated by your script. If this is so, then that error could help a lot to understand what happens.

So read again Pritaeas posts and reply to his requests.

@cereal: I was typing something similar... ;)

commented: ;D +14

Dear Guys, please, accept my appologize. but i answered all post of Pritasea and other guys. Anyways please, come to my problem. Now i littil bit solved.
II created aaddtender.php fle for upload file , it works normaly it uploads name of file(VARCHAR), type of file(VARCHAR),size of file(INT) and off course data of file(mediumblob) in database.
then created a download.php file for download file against id.

<?php
    include("conn1.php");
    //session_start();
    //$id=$_SESSION['var'];
    if (isset($_GET['id'])){
    $id=$_GET['id'];

    $query="SELECT * FROM tentb WHERE id=".$id ;
    $result=$conn1->query($query);
    while ($row= $result->fetch_assoc()){
         $name=$row['filename'] ;
         $content=$row['filedata'];
         $size=$row['filesize'];
         $type=$row['filetype'];
    //print_r($row);
          header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$name);
          header("Content-length:".$size);
          header("Content-type:". $type);

    echo $content;
    exit;
         }
         }
?>
