Open file in the browser instead of download

Hi,

i use $this->response->download('path_to_file', null) and want to show this file in the browser. How can i do this?

I think the header must be 'Content-Disposition: inline' but setting the header has no effect.

It is difficult.

You can't set a header because that header is set before the data is sent. That is, the title you set is replaced.

Ok, this is crazy, because in the CI 3 Version it works without no further effort. Now I set only the header and used readfile() at the end. This is working, but It's a pity that I can't use the built in function

Can you show the CI3 code?

Can you show the CI3 code?

this is the function i used:

The name is force_download. By using this function the document was displyed in the browser: force_download($filename, NULL, true)
