-Download Helper
-###############
-
-The Download Helper lets you download data to your desktop.
-
-.. contents::
- :local:
-
-.. raw:: html
-
- <div class="custom-index container"></div>
-
-Loading this Helper
-===================
-
-This helper is loaded using the following code::
-
- $this->load->helper('download');
-
-Available Functions
-===================
-
-The following functions are available:
-
-
-.. php:function:: force_download([$filename = ''[, $data = ''[, $set_mime = FALSE]]])
-
- :param string $filename: Filename
- :param mixed $data: File contents
- :param bool $set_mime: Whether to try to send the actual MIME type
- :rtype: void
-
- Generates server headers which force data to be downloaded to your
- desktop. Useful with file downloads. The first parameter is the **name
- you want the downloaded file to be named**, the second parameter is the
- file data.
-
- If you set the second parameter to NULL and ``$filename`` is an existing, readable
- file path, then its content will be read instead.
-
- If you set the third parameter to boolean TRUE, then the actual file MIME type
- (based on the filename extension) will be sent, so that if your browser has a
- handler for that type - it can use it.
-
- Example::
-
- $data = 'Here is some text!';
- $name = 'mytext.txt';
- force_download($name, $data);
-
- If you want to download an existing file from your server you'll need to
- do the following::
-
- // Contents of photo.jpg will be automatically read
- force_download('/path/to/photo.jpg', NULL); \ No newline at end of file
