Loading all the data of a page into a variable.

[bigoxygen]

Hi.

I was wondering how you would go about emulating

header('Content-Type: application/csv');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . 'test' . '.csv');
but instead of getting a file...I would like to load all the data into
a variable.
Is this possible?

Please clarify your question. Are you trying to generate a file
or retrieve one? In case you are retrieving, the problem is
solved very easily:

$data = file_get_contents('test.csv');

If you have allow_url_fopen enabled, this approach can be used
on remote files as well.

You can also shove the file into an array with the file() function:

so..

$file = file('test.csv');
foreach($file as $line=>$content) {
echo $content;
}
