I'm trying to download a file using the Slim 3 PHP Framework. Slim 2 was fairly straight forward, as I'm sure Slim 3 is too, but I just don't get it.
Any help would be appreciated. Based on the documentation here : http://www.slimframework.com/docs/objects/response.html I've added the package from here : https://github.com/guzzle/psr7
So my code at this point looks like :
$app->get('/worksheet/download/{filename}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
error_log("__________________________");
$fileName = $args['filename'];
error_log($fileName);
$newStream = new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\LazyOpenStream($fileName, 'r');
$newResponse = $response->withHeader('Content-type', 'application/octet-stream')
->withHeader('Content-Description', 'File Transfer')
->withHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=' . basename($fileName))
->withHeader('Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'binary')
->withHeader('Expires', '0')
->withHeader('Cache-Control', 'must-revalidate')
->withHeader('Pragma', 'public')
->withHeader('Content-Length', filesize($fileName))
->withBody($newStream);
return($newResponse);
});
I'm using readfile method from php:
$file = 'monkey.gif';
if (file_exists($file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.basename($file).'"');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);
exit;
}
This example is from the link above, maybe you can try to implement theses headers with the Slim Response object and WithHeader method.
The diference between {filename}
and [{filename}]
is that second form, filename is optional.
$app->get('/my[/{optional}]/route', function($req, $res, $args) {});
$app->get('/myother/{not_optional}/route', function($req, $res, $args) {});
In this example, you can access to /my/route because argument is not required but you can't access to /myother/route because you NEED not_optional argument.
There are more info in Slim documentation.
$app->get('/download', function($req, $res, $args) {
$file = 'public_html/images/back2.jpg';
$response = $res->withHeader('Content-Description', 'File Transfer')
->withHeader('Content-Type', 'application/octet-stream')
->withHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename="'.basename($file).'"')
->withHeader('Expires', '0')
->withHeader('Cache-Control', 'must-revalidate')
->withHeader('Pragma', 'public')
->withHeader('Content-Length', filesize($file));
readfile($file);
return $response;
});
This code works fine for me and it's made with Slim 3.3.0
