Dude, that´s why i used the variables $name and $path, because it´s
dynamic, and you should use at controller´s action, i will give an example:
//Assuming that the folders structure are exactly the same it cames from
CakePHP´s server.
class DownloadsController extends AppController{
public function download($name){
//First check if user is logged in or any check you want to do
before it downloads...
$path=APP.WEBROOT_DIR.DS.'files'.DS.$name;
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename="'.$name.'"');
echo file_get_contents($path);
}
}
Them if you access www.yoursite.com/downloads/download/file.extension it
will download the file.extension, and the system will get this file at
/app/webroot/files dir
Or if you navigate to www.yoursite.com/downloads/download/mypicture.jpg it
will force the download of mypicture.jpg, wich should be at
/app/webroot/files dir
***
If the download should start ONLY if the user is logged-in or if user
should do some action, do not use the webroot´s directory to store the
files, use the app directory or any directory not accessible throught
browser
This is just an example to understand how to force a download in CakePHP,
it´s just adjust for your use.
