note 89610 added to function.xmlwriter-open-uri

I wanted to stream a XML file directly to the user and having him prompted to save it without displaying the content, but when using <?php $out =new XMLWriter(); $out->openURI('php://output'); ?> the user's browser was displaying the file contents instead of prompting the user with a filesave window. To have the XML file stream saved directly to the user without being displayed by the browser, you shoud add: <?php header("Content-Type: text/html/force-download"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='file_name.xml'"); $out =new XMLWriter(); $out->openURI('php://output'); ?> This will prompt the user with a dialog box to save 'file_name.xml' on his disk, and will not display the content of the streamed XML. ---- Server IP: 81.92.192.129 Probable Submitter: 213.228.164.8 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xmlwriter-open-uri.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89610 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89610/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89610/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89610/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89610/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89610/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89610/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89610 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89610 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
