Sending Strings as Files with CakePHP server response

With CakePHP it is quite easy to send any string as a subfile. As an example below is the creation of an ICS subfile (for a calendar invites)

public function sendIcs()
{
  $icsString = $this->Calendars->generateIcs();
  $response = $this->response;

// Inject string content into response body $response = $response->withStringBody($icsString);

$response = $response->withType('ics');

// Optionally force file download $response = $response->withDownload('filename_for_download.ics');

// Return response object to prevent controller from trying to render // a view. return $response; }

Example above is from official CakePHP book.
