I want to provide a link to download a file. There are two values that I retrieve from a table that need to be concatenated to create the full path to the file. I am able to retrieve the values one at a time and they display correctly, but, when I try to concatenate them together, the Filepath value is left out of the URL string and instead displayed IN FRONT of the URL??
The values display just fine one at a time: echo $file->getFilepath(); prints /this/correct/path/ echo $file->getFilename(); prints thisfile.pdf That all looks good! But when I try to make one long URL out of them... $full_path_to_file = 'http://mysite.com'.$file->getFilepath().$file- >getFilename(); echo $full_path_to_file prints /this/correct/path/ http://mysite.comthisfile.pdf BUT it should be http://mysite.com/this/correct/path/thisfile.pdf I also tried removing the leading and ending slashes in the Filepath to produce: this/correct/path instead of /this/correct/path/ and then $full_path_to_file = 'http://mysite.com/.$file->getFilepath().'/'. $file->getFilename(); but the results are exactly the same. If I could get the full path to the file to print out correctly, I would use it like this: <a href="<?php echo $full_path_to_file ?>" >Download File</a> as I don't think I can use the link_to helper with this. What am I doing wrong? Is it not possible to concatenate URL paths? I feel stupid that I can't do something so simple. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
