I'm using cakephp 2.3.1
I want to force download a mp4 file per http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/controllers/request-response.html#cake-response-file In my 'view' I have the following code which is correctly searching for the filename, and finding the file name, and displaying the download link: <?php $filename = APP . 'webroot/files/' . $dance['Dance']['id'] . '.mp4'; if (file_exists($filename)) { echo $this->Html->link('DOWNLOAD', array('controller' => 'dances', 'action' => 'sendFile', $dance['Dance']['id'])); } else { echo 'Coming soon: available April 16th'; }?> When the user clicks on the link I want to force the download of the mp4 file. In my controller I have the following code that doesn't work: public function sendFile($id) { $file = $this->Attachment->getFile($id); //Note: I do not understand the 'Attachment' and the 'getFile($id)' $this->response->file($file['webroot/files/'], array('download' => true, 'name' => 'Dance')); //Return reponse object to prevent controller from trying to render a view return $this->response;} I don't understand 'Attachment' and the 'getFile()' I'm getting the following error: Error: Call to a member function getFile() on a non-object What am I doing wrong and is there any other documentation I can be looking at to understand this better? -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
