Hi,
I am using this function to download an image that I uploaded before by using Codeigniter. Function successfully downloads it with same name but when I try to open it, I get an error which says "Cannot be opened... file format... is not supported..."
Please help.
Thanks
CONTROLLER:
Code:
public function do_downloadfile()
{
$this->load->helper('download');
// $filepath below produces http://localhost/CI/upload/82df53aae33450324bd26cd880d678b5.png
$filepath = base_url() . 'upload/' . $this->uri->segment(3);
$data = file_get_contents($filepath);
$name = $this->uri->segment(3);
force_download($name, $data);
