S3 + Force download. I need help getting it to work.

Hi,

I'm trying to make a download for a secure file on amazon s3. I am using the amazon S3 CodeIgniter library and force download with no success.

Here's the code...

Code:

function index($file_id)
{
    $this->load->helper('download');
    $this->load->library('s3');

    $this->db->where('id', $file_id);
    $query = $this->db->get('Documents');

    if($query->num_rows())
    {
        $file = $query->row_array();

        $content = $this->s3->getObject('secretmethod', 'documents/'.$file['filename']);
        force_download($file['filename'], $content);
    }
    else
    {
        echo 'File not found!';
    }
}

Here's the error I'm getting... It actually just writes the errors to the file. (Side note, does anyone know how to stop the download on error?)

Code:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: 4096
Message:  Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string
Filename: helpers/download_helper.php
Line Number: 91

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice
Message:  Object of class stdClass to string conversion
Filename: helpers/download_helper.php
Line Number: 91

If you know a better way to do this, let me know. I just want to check that the user downloading is a member before downloading the file. Maybe a redirect would work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Looks like, as the name implies, $this->s3->getObject() returns an object, and not a string.
