Hi,
I'm trying to get my site to generate text files with a certain extension
and MIME-type from a database, "on the fly".
Specifically, I would like to build something that can create vCards, that
is, text files of a particular format with the extension *.vcf, mime-type
text/x-vcard, _at the time that the user clicks the link to download the
file_.
Currently, the only way I have of doing this is prebuilding all the vcf
files when the page is built, then deleting them when the user goes
somewhere else -- pretty inefficient. I'd really like to have, e.g. a bunch
of links that look like this:
<a href="/scripts/GenericCard.vcf?uid=UniqueUserKey">Click here for John
Doe's vCard</a>
...so that when the user clicks the link, their contact manager (Outlook, or
whatever) fires up on their machine and displays the freshly-generated
vCard.
I have, of course, thought of modifying the httpd.conf to have apache parse
files with a .vcf extension through the php interpreter -- I think that this
would be a very bad idea. ;-)
So, is this too much to hope for?
TIA
--Dan
