Re: [fw-mvc] Force download question

Hi, here's a copy of what I use to send files.  This works with all browsers I've tested:

    /**
     * Sends a file to the browser
     *
     * @param string $fileName
     * @param string $directory
     */
    public function sendFile($newFileName, $originalFilePath)
    {
        $this->setRenderNavMenu(false);
        $this->setRenderLayout(false);
        $this->setRenderView(false);
       
        $this->getResponse()
            ->clearAllHeaders()
            ->setHeader("Pragma", "public", true)
            ->setHeader('Cache-control', 'must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0', true)
            ->setHeader('Cache-control', 'private')
            ->setHeader('Expires', '0', true)
            ->setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream')
            ->setHeader('Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'binary', true)
            ->setHeader('Content-Length', filesize($originalFilePath), true)
            ->setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=' . $newFileName)
            ->setBody(file_get_contents($originalFilePath));
    }

Hi Tom,  Good to hear from you.  Ironically, I'd found your sendfile helper and was using it when I ran into the problem with IE.  I'll send you a copy of what I ended up with for now.  -Ed   On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 2:52 AM, Tom Graham<tom.graham@jadu.co.uk> wrote:   

I wrote a post on blog about this not so long ago: http://www.noginn.com/2009/03/08/sending-files-with-the-zend-framework/  I created a simple action helper to make sending files for download easy. Hope it can be of some use to you.  Tom
