Download variable as file.

[mhalloran]

My script currently creates a text file and then sends the text file to the user as an attachemnt.

The code:

header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file_path));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$file_path);

This works fine but I'd rather have the user download a file called myfile.txt that is really just the contents of a variable.

Any ideas how to do this?

$string = 'this is a string with some text in it';

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myfile.txt"');
echo $string;
exit();
