Bye Bye ugly Content Disposition Attachment with Yii

Hi,

With Yii Framework, you can say good bye to ugly header code for forcing download a file on client side (I usually used for pdf files download forcibly) so that client browser should not try to open in in-built file handler.

$request = Yii::app()->getRequest();
$request->sendFile('abc.pdf', file_get_contents(Yii::app()->basePath.'/files/mypdf'))

As Per Yii Docs, this function takes care of all the headers required to accomplish the task. So all clean work now.
