Download file through an AJAX call in PHP
Using Ajax to download files is not considered to be a good idea. Instead, window.location = or document.location should be used.
The 'window.location' has the following characteristics −
- JavaScript enabling is required
- It doesn't need PHP.
- It helps show the content of the site, and redirects the user after a few seconds.
Redirect can be dependent on any conditions such as −
$success = 1
if ($success) {
window.location.href = 'http://example.com';
}A variable named ‘success’ is assigned with the value of 1. When this condition is satisfied, the window.location is used.
On running, the user is redirected to the website 'http://example.com'
