Loading an MP3 file through php validation for "streaming" in flash player

[eluser]amites[/eluser]
I appreciate the advice, still not getting this working though

currently looks like

Code:

$this->load->helper(array('file', 'download'));
            force_download($m['name'], read_file($file));

echo of $m['name'] = Test 1

echo of $file = D:\Web-Sites\Heritage Web Design\Erik Ohanessian\hidden\mp3\01-Joe-Satriani-Not-Of-This-Earth.mp3
(this is a real file I can open in Firefox directly)

tried it with and without the read_file, comes up blank when I open the page

any ideas?
