HOW TO CREATE YOUR PERSONAL DOWNLOAD LINK FOR FILES


For WordPress users, uploading files like audio files are impossible so third party sites are used to upload files and get the download link.
But most times, if those services are down, you become stranded.
How cool would it be to have your own file upload page to upload files and get a shortened URL for it?
 In this tutorial I will share the code and teach you how to make your own file upload page to upload files and get a shortened URL
NOTE: IN THIS TUTORIAL,
-           I ASSUME YOU HAVE A BLOG,
-          HAVE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF HTML (IF NOT PHP)
-          AND ALSO KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR HOSTING’S FILE MANAGER
WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO NEED:
-          A TEXT EDITOR (I USED SUBLIME TEXT)
-          POSSIBLY A BITLY.COM ACCOUNT (OPTIONAL)
-          ACCESS TO YOUR HOSTING’S FILE MANAGER
Lets start.
This is my file tree to show the necessary files and folders needed

You can download the source code here http://arawolemichael.rf.gd/files/downloadpage.zip
First we start with index.php
Copy and Paste the codes


<?php
//File Upload Page

//check if form was submitted
if (isset($_POST['uploadfile'])) {

    $uploadfile    = $_FILES["uploadImage"]["tmp_name"];
    $folderPath                   = "uploadedfiles/";
    $fullpath                         =$folderPath . $_FILES["uploadImage"]["name"];

// Check if file already exists
if (file_exists($_FILES["uploadImage"]["name"])) {
   die("Sorry, file already exists.");
}

//check file format
$FileType = strtolower(pathinfo($fullpath, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

// Allow certain file formats
if ($FileType != "jpg" && $FileType != "png" && $FileType != "jpeg" && $FileType != "gif" && $FileType != "zip" && $FileType != "mp3" && $FileType != "m4a") {
echo "Sorry, only JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, MP3, M4A files are allowed.";
exit();
        }

    if (! is_writable($folderPath) || ! is_dir($folderPath)) {
        echo "error occured";
        exit();
    }
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["uploadImage"]["tmp_name"], $folderPath . $_FILES["uploadImage"]["name"])) {

$filename=basename($_FILES["uploadImage"]["name"]);

/* make a URL small */
function make_bitly_url($url,$login,$appkey,$format = 'xml',$version = '2.0.1')
{
               //create the URL
               $bitly = 'http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version='.$version.'&longUrl='.urlencode($url).'&login='.$login.'&apiKey='.$appkey.'&format='.$format;
              
               //get the url
               //could also use cURL here
               $response = file_get_contents($bitly);
              
               //parse depending on desired format
               if(strtolower($format) == 'json')
               {
                               $json = @json_decode($response,true);
                               return $json['results'][$url]['shortUrl'];
               }
               else //xml
               {
                               $xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
                               return 'http://bit.ly/'.$xml->results->nodeKeyVal->hash;
               }
}
$urlto=$siteurl."/download.php?file=".$filename;

/* usage */

Please Edit the following to your own details as it may affect your site if I close the account in the near future
$appid='arawolemichael';
$appkey='R_2c00c6661a3d42eb80c3bd9fbd53a8e6';
$short = make_bitly_url($urlto,$appid ,$appkey ,'json');

              

        ?>
        <h1>File <?=$filename?> Uploaded!</h1>
        <h3>Link: <a href='<?=$short?>' target='_blank'><?=$short?></a></h3>
        <a href=''>Go Back</a>
        <?php
        exit();
    }
    }

?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
               <title>Upload Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<center><h1>Upload Document</h1></center>

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
               <label>Upload File</label><br>
               <input type="file" name="uploadImage" required="" /><br><br>
               <input type="submit" name="uploadfile"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>


Next File is the download.php file

<?php
//download.php file
if(!isset($_GET['file'])){
               header("Location: https://google.com");
               exit();
}
$file=$_GET['file'];
               header("Location: $siteurl/uploadedfiles/$file");
               exit();
?>



Now, make sure you make a folder called “uploadedfiles”
And that’s all you need!
