Help with Zip Encoding - El Forum - 10-16-2014
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi all
I am trying to use the read_dir function to no avail, it doesn't seem to matter what I do I can not get this to work.
Can someone take a look and let me know if it is something I am doing wrong (the whole thing seems pretty straight forward) or if this is a known issue and someone has a work around?
My code is as follows:
Code:
class Zipdownloader extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('zip');
}
function index()
{
$path = 'files/test/';
$this->zip->read_dir($path, FALSE);
// Download the file to your desktop. Name it "backup.zip"
$this->zip->download('backup.zip');
}
}When I load the page I get nothing, just a blank page, no error or download, just nothing.
I have managed to get add_data working with no issues however this just won't play with me.
Your help is greatly appreciated I am very very new to CodeIgniter and have not worked with PHP in years, and am on a very tight deadline to get this working for my work.

You should use the download helper:

Try:
Code:
$path = base_url('files/test/');
// or
$path = site_url('files/test/');
