Download Helper

+ +

The Download Helper file helps you download data to your desktop.

+ + +

Loading this Helper

+ +

This helper is loaded using the following code:

+$this->load->helper('download'); + +

The following functions are available:

+ +

force_download('filename', 'data')

+ +

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. +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 read the file into a string:

+ + +$data = file_get_contents("/path/to/photo.jpg"); // Read the file's contents
+$name = 'myphoto.jpg';
+
+force_download($name, $data); + + + + + +
+ + + + + + + \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3-24-g4f1b
