Hrmm, you had a good idea but, I am not figuring out how to implement
this. I sat there for an hour yesterday just thinking about it. My
problem is that I have a simple array with the path and name of the
file. The file name and paths change dynamically but with flash and
redirect, I don't see a way to pass the data to a new page. is $this-
>data global? I mean if $this->data contains my array, when the page
gets redirected, it goes bye-bye, yeah?
Here is the array I am trying to pass:
$data = array('AdminTool' => array('success' = true, 'filepath' => '/
whatever/here/', 'filename' => 'blah_blah_2007-03-06_12:14:03.zip'));
I get this array from functions in the model that collect the
information for me and zips it. The model passes the array with where
the zip is located and the name of the zip file. From the controller
I could just set the zipinfo variable with the array and access it
that way but, the problem comes in where, if I want to display HTML
like success here is what info was collected, and once that view
loads, have the browser automatically bring up the download box for
the zip file.
This, for me, is more about a "can it be done or not" and to implement
it whether it would be useful or not. It just means that my knowledge
will grow.
