[TYPO3-mvc] Referencing a PHP file, using Extbase

[Adrien Crivelli]

Hello,

The short answer is do not avoid Extbase.

I actually did it very recently, have at look at my code:

   1. The action's *controller* where you can define custom headers:
   https://github.com/Ecodev/newsletter/blob/1.3.0/Classes/Controller/RecipientListController.php#L135
   2. The *view*, note the "csv" file extension and be careful with
   whitespace not to break CSV content:
   https://github.com/Ecodev/newsletter/blob/1.3.0/Resources/Private/Templates/RecipientList/export.csv
   3. A *ViewHelper* to easily output CSV values:
   https://github.com/Ecodev/newsletter/blob/1.3.0/Classes/ViewHelpers/CsvValuesViewHelper.php

To switch between format, add a "&tx_myextension_myplugin[format]=csv" to
URL (or better, use UriBuilder).

Cheers,

Adrien
