Re: Cakephp download function not working

Do your files have an extension? Are you certain that the view vars
are correct? Instead of setting the view vars directly, create an
array var so that you can debug it.

$params = array(
'id' => $adminProcedure['AdminProcedure']['id'],
// etc.
);


$this->set($params);

die(debug($params)); // or log it
