Cakephp Download Png File

I dynamically generate png files which after clicking 'generate' button appears 'under' link. 'generate button : click' --->DOWNLOAD

Solution 1:

Alternatively if you are using Apache web server and have mod_headers enabled you can use an .htaccess file to force download of the png files.

Create a .htacess file and place it in the directory where your png files are being generated/downloaded from. In that file put this:

<FilesMatch "\.(?i:png)$">
  ForceType application/octet-stream
  Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>

Solution 2:

you can use the MediaView to pass it through and force downloading: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views/media-view.html?highlight=media#MediaView
