I've been using PHP for a while, but am new to Cake. What I am attempting
to do is create a vCard on the fly in a PHP variable and download it to a
client. To do that, I need to set the response header to something like
"Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8" and then add a
'Content-Disposition: attachment ; filename=\"vcardname.vcf\" ' header. I
have done this successfully in standalone PHP by just using the "header"
function, but it seems that no matter what I do, the CakePHP view just
displays the vCard in text and sets the content type to text/html.
I've been Googling and reading for a couple of days and have not made any
progress. I freely admit that I'm probably missing something basic, but I
just can't figure out what.
My download.ctp view file looks like this:
....Some code to make a vcard from a DB record in $vcard
header("Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"vcardname.vcf\";");
echo $vcard;
Pretty basic. If I run this code as a standalone PHP script, it downloads
the file to my browser as expected. When I run it as a Cake view tied to a
controller action, it just echoes the vcard variable to the screen and
leaves the content type as text/html.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Gray
