PHP File Download
=================

[](#php-file-download)

A class to help with creating downloads for files in PHP.

Tip
---

[](#tip)

If you can use direct downloads, you should just use them. This class is for providing downloads of files out of PHP, for example if you want to provide a download to a temporarily created file.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

The examples assume, that you have included the namespace:

```
use Arris\Toolkit\FileDownload;
```

Create a download for a file on your file system
------------------------------------------------

[](#create-a-download-for-a-file-on-your-file-system)

```
$fileDownload = FileDownload::createFromFilePath("/path/to/file.pdf");
$fileDownload->sendDownload("download.pdf");
```

Create a download for a file via file pointer
---------------------------------------------

[](#create-a-download-for-a-file-via-file-pointer)

```
$file = /* your file, somewhere opened with fopen() or tmpfile(), etc.. */;
$fileDownload = new FileDownload($file);
$fileDownload->sendDownload("download.pdf");
```

Create a download for a file via content
----------------------------------------

[](#create-a-download-for-a-file-via-content)

```
$content = "This is the content of the file:";
$fileDownload = FileDownload::createFromString($content);
$fileDownload->sendDownload("download.txt");
```

For example, you can create downloads for PDF files, generated by Zend (or any other library):

```
$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
$page = $pdf->newPage(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
$pdf->pages[] = $page;

/* draw content in the pdf ... */

$fileDownload = FileDownload::createFromString($pdf->render());
$fileDownload->sendDownload("download.pdf");
```

NB
--

[](#nb)

Если в методе `sendDownload()` опустить имя файла - оно будет равно имени файла, которое передали конструктору.

Есть нюанс: если файл создается из строки: `createFromString()` - отсутствие аргумента в `sendDownload()` предписывает скачать файл с пустым именем. Последствия неизвестны.
