url encode

Sorry, I don't get what you say.

In my opinion, the code should be:

Code:

base_url("/operations/path-item/$path")

The $path var = '/data/reports/some_file.txt' therefore the url will = '/operations/path-item//data/reports/some_file.txt' and the url will not work.

Need to encode $path so url will = '/operations/path-item/%2Fdata%2Freports...' then this will work.

Simpler is always better
