I am trying download files in controller but in the console I see only really bunch of weird characters instead of download box. I am following this topic Symfony2 - Force file download.
Don't know what is going on... trying to find simplest solution. Here is my code:
$response = new Response(file_get_contents($file->realPath), 200, array(
'Content-Type' => $file->mimeType,
'Content-Length' => filesize($file->realPath),
'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename=' . $file->name,
));
$response->send();
I've even tried to use the most basic example with header() and readfile(). Does my server need special config or something? Cheers.
Instead of rebuilding that kind of response, you could use Symfony's built-inBinaryFileResponse
.
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\BinaryFileResponse;
$response = new BinaryFileResponse($file);
Please take also a look in the documentation about serving files.
