controller::send_file()

Send data from a file to the browser.  This method ultimately calls view::send_file() internally.

Prototype

string send_file(string $path, array $options = [])

Parameters

• path - Path to the file.  The file's contents will be sent to the browser.
• options - Optional associative array of one or more of the following options.
  • filename - Filename for the data.  If not specified, the filename at the end of the path will be used.
  • disposition - Content-Disposition for the data.  Options are:
    • inline (default) - indicates the file should display in the web browser if possible.
    • attachment - indicates the file should download.
  • mimetype - MIME Type to send as the Content Type.  If not specified, it will be automatically determined from the data by calling mime_type::get_mime_type_from_file() internally.
  • headers - Array of additional headers to send.  The array can be an associative array with the header as the key and value as the value, or a regular array (or numeric keys) where the value is the entire header to send.

Example

// the default controller method
public function web__index() {
    $image = $this->repo()->get('FROM Image WHERE OID=123']);
    $this->send_file($image->Data, ['filename'=>$image->Filename]);
}
