File helper() write file? Download prompt! - El Forum - 08-15-2011

Hi all,
I have been playing around with the file helper class.
Basically I want a query result in a csv file to be downloaded by the user, NOT written to a folder somewhere.
So this is what happens:
-Enters query (works)
-Query result in CSV (works)
-Query result in file, download prompt for user to download .csv file (not functioning)
This is what I have
Code:
//csv data
$csv
write_file('', $csv);I had a look at the File Helper but no code relevant to what I am trying to achieve.
Thanks for your time

use the download helper
Code:
$this->load->helper('download');
$data = 'Here is some text!';
$name = 'mytext.txt';
force_download($name, $data);http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/download_helper.html
