Hello. I have within a controller the option to download a file so that it can be seen in the Browser with the following command:

Hi everyone,
I’m running into a weird issue with sessions in CodeIgniter 4 and I’d really appreciate some help.

I’m setting a session value in one controller, then doing a redirect to another controller or method. I expect the session data to be available after the redirect.

The session is getting set fine, but after the redirect, the session seems empty or sometimes only partially saved. I’m using the default file-based session driver.

• Double-checked
  
  Code:

  Config\App.php
  session settings — using default file handler.
  
• Tried
  
  Code:

  session()->markAsFlashdata()
  and also regular
  
  Code:

  set()
  but same result.
  
• Confirmed cookies are enabled.
  
• Cleared cache and tried different browsers — same issue.
  

1. Is there something special I need to do to make sure sessions persist correctly after
   
   Code:

   return redirect()->to()
   ?
   
2. Could it be a write timing issue? Do I need to manually call
   
   Code:

   session()->close()
   before redirecting?
   
3. Are there any best practices to debug this?
   

Hi Everyone, ?
I’m currently working on a personal project (might turn into my final year submission) where I need to automate some tasks and scrape data from external websites — basically without using any third-party API. I’m aware this is often done using cURL or libraries like Guzzle in raw PHP.
But since I’ve chosen CodeIgniter 4 for this project, I’m curious:

• Is it a good idea to implement web scraping or automation logic directly in a CI4 controller/service?
  
• Can I integrate tools like cURL or Simple HTML DOM Parser in CodeIgniter without breaking the framework structure?
  
• Are there any recommended CI4-friendly libraries for scraping?
  

Introducing AssetConnect for CodeIgniter 4!

Hey team! I'm excited to share a new library I've been working on called AssetConnect - a powerful file management solution for CodeIgniter 4 applications.

What is AssetConnect?

AssetConnect is a robust file management library that allows you to associate files with any entity in your application. It provides a flexible, type-safe API for handling file uploads, storage, and retrieval with powerful features.

Key Features ✨

• Entity Association: Easily attach files to any entity in your application (users, products, posts, etc.)
• Collections: Organize files into logical groups with specific rules and constraints
• Custom Properties: Store and retrieve metadata with your files
• Type-safe API: Full IDE support with strong typing
• Secure Access Control: Built-in authorization checks for file access
• Filtering System: Powerful query capabilities to find exactly the files you need
• Queue Integration: Background processing for file operations

Example Usage ?

The pipe operator in PHP 8.5

Can we have table rows accept a row id ? so the output of a row can be <tr id="some_id">.....</tr>

I'm working on a module for CodeIgniter4 to provide ip blocking: https://github.com/grimpirate/abuseipdb

I've run into an issue where I have a migration located under modules/AbuseIpdb/Database/Migrations.

After completing the setup and creating the SQLite database (php spark db:create abuseipdb --ext db) I attempt: php spark migrate

It's my understanding from the docs that migrations are auto-detected and run across every namespace. However, in practice, that did not occur. My migrations do not run. If I move the file from modules/AbuseIpdb/Database/Migrations into app/Database/Migrations and run the migration then it works (even without changing the namespace).

What am I doing wrong here?
