Re: Printing to a buffer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Because this was just a test of what will be many "print" lines. The original application used a file to hold the data and upon request by the user, it was emailed. But with my client's shared server, files cannot be opened...a pain.

If you have a better solution, I am open to other ideas.

call me stupid, but why don't you do it like this:

$buf = "This is a test<br>";
header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($buf));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=sfyc.html");
echo $buf;

??
looks easier to me... no output buffering required...

Just before the police knocked at my door, I made a few changes!

<?
  ob_start();
  print "This is a test<br>";
  $buf = ob_get_contents();
  $len = strlen($buf);
  ob_end_clean();
  header("Content-type: text/plain");
  header("Content-Length: $len");
  header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=sfyc.html");
  print($buf);
?>

Many thanks!  I did not know that MIME-Type.  Change duly made!




You're not suggesting that you actually set the MIME-Type to application/force-download, are you?




I think he is. I've called the MIME-type police and they'll be round later.

Todd, I think you should read this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/ q260519/

There's a PHP example just before the user notes here: http:// www.php.net/header
