Having issues with down loading videos. Here is my code:
Code:
function download()
{
$this->load->helper('download');
$name = $this->uri->segment(3);
$path = '/Users/homdir/Sites/amwayss/videos/'.$this->uri->segment(3);
$data = file_get_contents($path); // Read the file's content
force_download($name, $data);
}Download Helper issues - El Forum - 01-27-2010

Enable error displaying and post the error you get:
Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');Download Helper issues - El Forum - 01-27-2010

You are getting the black screen because in the $name var you are not specifing the file extension of the file
Do like this
$data = file_get_contents(BASEPATH."uploads\\4CGcjsVs\\454A5d01.pdf");
//echo $data;
$name="ggg.pdf";
echo force_download($name, $data);
