decode base64 file and open

[rma.eugene]

Hey all,

 

Trying to retrieve a base64 file from db and ask user if he/she wishes to download it.

 

what i've got:

 

   $file = base64_decode($record->fields->Body);
    header('Content-Type: ' . $record->fields->ContentType);
    readfile($file);

thanks!

I think all you need to do is just echo $file instead of readfile.

 

readfile is generally for passing a path to a valid file and actually reading it. Since the file data is stored in the DB, just echo it.
