anchor for file in WRITEPATH

Hi , i move my uploaded file in  WRITEPATH.'/uploads/' . How can i set anchor to downolad file ?
I try :

Code:

<?=WRITEPATH.'uploads/'.$row->nome_originale  ?>

But have server name two time....

Look in the CodeIgniter User Guide Global Funtions.

PHP Code:

$newName = $file->getRandomName();
$file->move(WRITEPATH . 'uploads', $newName); 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

from a form

Code:

$file = $this->request->getFile('userfile');

//line in form is
<input type="file" name="userfile" size="20" required/>
//then in controller

$file = $this->request->getFile('userfile');
                   $name= $file->getName();

So now we have the name of the file with its extension.

you could save that info into a database, even with a slug name if required;to retrieve later and since you know where you put it you have:

name of file
location of file

for a download link for a specfic pdf in routes i have :

Code:

$routes->get('linkPdf/(:segment)','ProducePDF::getPdf/$1');
and in a view(with an a href  link)  i display something like :

https://myweb/linkPdf/Adinkra-symbols-of-Ghana

//So using the slug : Adinkra-symbols-of-Ghana  i can query a db and get Id,  path to image etc

that should give you something to think around

so linkPdf/Adinkra-symbols-of-Ghana goes to ProducePDF::getPdf

where ProducePdf is a class and getPdf is one of its methods that does all the work.

And to force download of a file ?

a simple html download link is :

Code:

<a href="/path/image.jpg" download> text </a>

So your task is to use controller to get file details. Personally i make uploads to directory inside public , that makes it easier to get path

Then think of how to express the code in the code box in a view. try it in basic html5 ; when the text is clicked on the file downloads.
