Problem: The created (XLSX) file is send to email and works well but it doesn't not open when I download it using this script, MS Excel shows "invalid file format or extension" error.
I wrote a script to force download an excel file from the server if there is a $_GET
and send it by email if there isn't.
$writer = new Xlsx( $spreadsheet );
$writer->save( 'file.xlsx' );
$file_path = PATH_TO_FILE; // for example purposes
if( isset( $_GET['action'] ) && 'download' == $_GET['action'] ) {
// force download file
if( file_exists( $file_path ) ) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" ' . basename( $file_path ) . '"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize( $file_path ) );
flush(); // Flush system output buffer
readfile( $file_path );
exit;
}
}
else {
// send email
$to = 'example@example';
$subject = 'subject';
$body = 'body ' . date( 'd-m-Y' );
$headers = array(
'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8',
'From: John Doe <info@example.com>',
);
$attachment = array( $file_path );
$result = wp_mail( $to, $subject, $body, $headers, $attachment );
if( !$result ) {
error_log( '$result: ' . print_r( $result, true ) );
}
}
*PATH_TO_FILE
leads to the actual file
Any idea why the file download script generates a bad excel file?
Thanks!
