Hi there!
I wouldn't directly return an output within your controllers.
Instead, you can return a Response object, which will already tell the MVC
to skip the 'render' (view) step:
a) fill a response object with some content you fetch from a file (not
really fast):
public function indexAction()
{
$response = new \Zend\Http\PhpEnvironment\Response();
$response->setThis();
$response->setThat();
$response->setMore();
$response->setContent(file_get_contents('path/to/file.txt'));
return $response;
}
b) use a stream response
public function indexAction()
{
$response = new \Zend\Http\Response\Stream();
$response->setThis();
$response->setThat();
$response->setMore();
$response->setStream(fopen('path/to/file.txt', 'r'));
return $response;
}
