Hi,
Goal: I have a button on a page. When user clicks it should generate a XML
file and make it download (instead of opening in browser window).
Cake version: 1.3
So I create a HTML link like this:
<?php echo $html->link( __('Generate XML file', true),
> array('action'=>'generateXMLFile','ext'=>'xml'),
> array('class'=>'button','target'=>'_blank') ); ?>
Which outputs a simple HTML link.
I have added in Routes:
Router::parseExtensions('json','xml');
My action:
function generateXMLFile(){
> // Configure::write('debug',0);
> // Only XML Requests
> if(!$this->RequestHandler->isXml()){
> die();
>
> }
> }
My view:
>
> <response>
> <posts>
> <Post>
> <id>test 234</id>
> </Post>
> </posts>
> </response>
My Layout:
<?php header('Content-type: text/xml');?>
> <?php echo $this->Xml->header(); ?>
> <?php echo $content_for_layout; ?>
Now when I click the link the XML is sent as output to the screen. Clicking
with right mousebutton ->save as.. makes it possible to save the file as
XML.
Headers are correctly set as text/xml
How can i prevent this from outputting to the screen but output it to a
file/stream for download ?
thanks
