Hi I did what was suggested in the above post and now this is my
download function:
function download ($slug = null)
{
$this->view = 'Media';
$params = array(
'id' => 'example.zip,
'name' => 'example',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'zip',
'path' => APP . 'gamefiles' . DS);
$this->set($params);
}
I have three more links on whose click 3 different files should be
downloded using this very download function, how should I make use of
this slug to download different files. Should it be this: ???
function download ($slug = null)
{
$this->view = 'Media';
$params = array(
'id' => $slug,
'name' => 'example',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'zip',
'path' => APP . 'gamefiles' . DS);
$this->set($params);
}
