Hi Djiize, hi everybody
At the moment I try your idea with $this-render().
I wrote a function which will write me a string to a file on harddisk. The
string is $this-render() and it works.
To avoid my memory problem I divided the output in several functions which have
their own view like
Function document_start, document_end, elements_in_the_middle,
more_elements_in_the_middle, which go to document_start.ctp, etc....
A function "start" calls the others as it loops through my data so I don't have
too big data arrays with my model data because I can set conditions on teh find
method.
At the end of each function I write $this-render() to harddisk.
So far it works, BUT... (there had to be something, eh?)
The content of $this->render seems to add up instead being filled new in every
function. I tried to unset it (error message) or set it to '' because it isn't
writeable.
Example:
function document_start($filename){
$this->writetoharddisk($filename,
$this->render('document_start'));
}
Is there any method to set if back? Or any other idea to get the rendered views
to my file?
As always: Thanks in advance for any help and hints!
Anja

in Controller code, a call to $this->render() returns the content of the view
