This is 100% working PHP script to download a APK file, or any extension:
<?php
// You can download by package name:
include("dbconfig.php");
if (isset($_GET['app_packageName'])){
$myApps = mysqli_query($dbconnect, "SELECT * FROM app_table WHERE package_name = '". $_GET['app_packageName'] ."' LIMIT 1");
$fileName = mysqli_fetch_assoc($myApps)['file_name']; // "file_name" is my field in MYSQL database (example: myApp.apk)
if (file_exists($fileName)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/'. $_GET['app_packageName'] .'');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; fileName='.basename($fileName));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($fileName));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($fileName);
exit;
}
}
// Place this script where your APK file is located
?>By this way, you can restrict directly download. And you can count downloaded too.
