CodeIgniter - force_download() no output

Question

Fast to explain, but I can\'t get it to work:

In this simple code, the function force_download simply doesn\'t make any output.

$this->load->helper         


        

Answer 1

This will work with you

$this->load->helper('download');
$path = file_get_contents(base_url()."modulos/".$filename); // get file name
$name = "sample_file.pdf"; // new name for your file
force_download($name, $path); // start download`
