writing output to a file with CakePHP shell - shell

Question

I am trying to just simply write "hello world" to a file, from a cakephp shell, with plans to eventually write a sitemap.xml file using our product models. I found this: Question which got me started...
But i am thinking either ConsoleOutput is not supported in Cake 1.3.6 (which i'm using), or i need to include the class that holds it.
The error i get when trying to run the file from terminal:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'ConsoleOutput' not found in /public/vendors/shells/sitemap.php on line 7
Here is my code:
class SitemapShell extends Shell {
public function __construct($stdout = null, $stderr = null, $stdin = null) {
// This will cause all Shell outputs, eg. from $this->out(), to be written to
// TMP.'shell.out'
$stdout = new ConsoleOutput('file://'.TMP.'shell.out');
// You can do the same for stderr too if you wish
// $stderr = new ConsoleOutput('file://'.TMP.'shell.err');
parent::__construct($stdout, $stderr, $stdin);
}
public function main() {
// The following output will not be printed on your console
// but be written to TMP.'shell.out'
$this->out('Hello world');
}
}

Answer 1

You are correct that ConsoleOutput didn't feature in CakePHP 1.3 - can you upgrade to a version 2.*?
If not you could just use regular PHP:
$fp = fopen('hello.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, 'hello world');
fclose($fp);
Hope this helps.
