Re: [fw-general] Write out Excel / CSV

   Hi John,



   exit();

   Probably is not the best way, but also works fine.

I've done a controller to export to several formats. Each action creates the file in a specific formts and in the end I just do:

OK, I kinda figured this out. I change the Layout in the model layer:

$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('layout-excel');

created a layout file called layout-excel.phtml which writes the corrected
header and the contents of the page.

Hope that helps the hive mind.

Hi,

  I want to be able to write out an excel document. I have a table of data
which can be exported as Excel/CSV, so the user click on the 'export' link
which passes a GET parameter to the page.

  How do I change the view to output CSV rather than HTML?

  I am using:

Zend_Layout::startMvc(array('layoutPath'=>'../application/layouts'));

  in my bootstrap.


  Should I use the same view to output either (HTML Report || CSV)? Should
these be in different views?

change the bootstrap file because 100s of pages all use 'layout' and work
fine. Shouldn't the choice to use it or not to use it be made in the View
layer?

  I have no idea how to approach this :-) so any help or pointers will be
appreciated :-)

How do I remove the 'layout' from within the view layer? I don't want to
