force_download() function for downloading files is not available in CI4 - krishnamhnsingh - 05-21-2020
dear members
can anyone help me with downloading file using Codeigniter 4 as all examples on on web are based on codeigniter 3 using force_download() function of file helper. I don't find this function in CI4. I am new to codeigniter...just wondering why they removed it.
