force_download problem? - El Forum - 05-03-2012
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi! Im new on this Framework and Forum and I'm looking for someone who can help me.
I have a problem with the helper download. I was trying to download a text file with a special extension(the specific of my application) from my webpage, but the function force_download enter a blank space at the beginning of the file content. Is it possible that this problem was caused by the extension? Is this any bug, what i should do?
The code of the controller is this:
Code:
function descarregar(){
$this->load->helper('download');
$name=$this->input->post('descarregarPOGO');
$base_url='/opt/lampp/htdocs/uploads/';
$url=$base_url.$name;
$data=file_get_contents($url);
force_download($name,$data);
}I put an echo of $data in this piece of code and the result seams to be correct, in $data figures the content of the file without the blank space.
Thank you for your help and sorry about my english!

It seams that I output a blank space before exit($data);
I solved my problem adding the function ob_clean(); before exit($data); line on the force_download function of CodeIgniter Framework.
