I made a form to upload files to the folder ./data/uploads
using the Zend\Filter\File\RenameUpload
filter.
This is working like a charm. My problem now is how do I provide this file to users download it?
I think it would be something like:
$response->setContent(file_get_contents('./data/uploads/file.png'));
But I want to know what is the best way to do this.
Thanks to @henrik for response, but several important headers are missing in his answer. Be careful of that.
Full headers stack:
public function downloadAction() {
$file = 'path/to/file';
$response = new \Zend\Http\Response\Stream();
$response->setStream(fopen($file, 'r'));
$response->setStatusCode(200);
$response->setStreamName(basename($file));
$headers = new \Zend\Http\Headers();
$headers->addHeaders(array(
'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="' . basename($file) .'"',
'Content-Type' => 'application/octet-stream',
'Content-Length' => filesize($file),
'Expires' => '@0', // @0, because zf2 parses date as string to \DateTime() object
'Cache-Control' => 'must-revalidate',
'Pragma' => 'public'
));
$response->setHeaders($headers);
return $response;
}
For anyone who bumps into this thread looking for an answer, this is a solution that works, and it's using streams!
public function downloadAction() {
$fileName = 'somefile';
$response = new \Zend\Http\Response\Stream();
$response->setStream(fopen($fileName, 'r'));
$response->setStatusCode(200);
$headers = new \Zend\Http\Headers();
$headers->addHeaderLine('Content-Type', 'whatever your content type is')
->addHeaderLine('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="' . $fileName . '"')
->addHeaderLine('Content-Length', filesize($fileName));
$response->setHeaders($headers);
return $response;
}
