Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi,

In my application I want to download ".wav" files. To do that I have written a common method in common class and call it.Below is that function.Problem is when I clicked download file get downloaded but it is corrupted, not played in any of players.There is no issue with the original file in sever.I tried this writing a separate php script without using the framework and worked fine.What can be the issue.


public function downloadContentEx($contentPath, $fileName)

{

	$fileName = $fileName . Yii::app()->params['promptExtension'];

	$cont_file = $contentPath . '/' . $fileName;


	if (is_file($cont_file))

	{		

		$file_type = mime_content_type($cont_file);

		$content = file_get_contents($cont_file);

				

		Yii::app()->getRequest()->sendFile($fileName, $content, $file_type, false);

		exit();

	}

	else

	{

		return false;

	}

}

Thanks

Aruna

I had same issue with large files, dunno really why but i did it in the "traditional" way after all.




        header('Content-Description: File Transfer');

        header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');

        header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($file));

        header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');

        header('Expires: 0');

        header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');

        header('Pragma: public');

        header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));

        ob_clean();

        flush();

        readfile($file);

        exit;
