download problem

I know this is thread is a bit old, but today I had the same problem and I thought I´d share my solution for it.

I´ve attached a custom download helper, it´s the same which ships with CodeIgniter - just a few changes.

Use it like this:

Code:

$this->load->helper('custom_download');
force_download_custom('awesome_file.xlsx', 'path/to/file/file.xlsx' );
