db to csv - solved

[eluser]Near[/eluser]
hi its me again.. someone please help me generate a downloadable csv file from a query
i tried

Code:

$this->load->dbutil();
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM mytable");
echo $this->dbutil->csv_from_result($query);

that i found at the user manual but it only echoes the query result at the browser and did not generate csv files. thanks
