force_download not work? [FIXED] - El Forum - 05-20-2008

Hello everyone.
I was using 'force_download' method successfully until recently. There's been no major changes in my code that I can think of that may affect it.
This is the set up.
File is located here: /home/folder/datafiles/somefile.zip
HTML root is here: /home/folder/wwwroot/
So, my script enters the following variables into the 'force_download' function:
Code:
force_download('somefile.zip',file_get_contents('/home/folder/datafiles/somefile.zip'));This, however, does not work. It causes the error in Mozilla browsers saying:
Quote:XXX could not be saved because the source file could not be read
Any ideas?

Maybe because the original file outside the "HTML Root".
